Fence
We'd been told that the fence and porch would be done by Saturday. We left the stain - a 5-gallon bucket of it that cost us around $150 - on the back porch before we left. We'd paid most of the fee up front, including $100 in cash during a surprise late-evening visit because of an "emergency".
When we got home from the vacation, a twelve-foot section of the more than 60-foot length had been stained...and the rest hasn't been touched. Neither has the porch been done. There's stain all over the grass under the fence (he said he'd put something down to protect the grass), and there are two large areas (3-foot circles) of stain in the grass out in the middle of our back yard. The pickets that were removed from the fence to be repaired have not been repaired or replaced. That includes a missing picket in the stained part of the fence.
We do know that the fence hadn't been touched at all as of 10 AM Sunday morning, so this was apparently a hit-and-run partial staining.
Teri is pissed off. I'm counseling a certain amount of patience...but even I am not at all happy about this.
Oh, and that five-gallon bucket of stain on the back porch? The lid wasn't sealed - it was just lying loosely on top. I tried to fasten it down properly.
All in all, this doesn't look good.
