I won $5 on a lottery ticket
My brother PAID me for my time and the materials I picked up and brought him today in cash.  I hope he's not sick or something :laugh:
Holy crap! Enjoy THAT moment while it lasts!  :lol1:

We *finally* had the outside rebuild inspected. He said it was a shoddy job and we should have no problem winning if this thing ends up in court.

That's encouraging?  Reminds me of the doctor who told the man, "There's good news and bad news.  Your wife isn't pregnant.  Your mistress is."
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

It is good news, considering we've had no headway with the contractor actually doing anything about his shoddy job.

Went to the dump and was not harassed by the people who work there,  they seem to make that part of their duty

What was it they screwed up anything big?  I have been otherwise occupied lately and have not been following much around here in case you already mentioned.

Lots of stuff. Just to take one example, there was the issue of nails. A lot of nails aren't all the way in, with heads several millimetres out, or have to great a distance between them, or, for that matter, that there aren't enough them on some boards and window frames, resulting in the boards twisting and loosening. It's the handiwork itself, but it's also that they've managed to fuck up some of the ventilation, remount drain pipes wrong, forget to seal cables running through the walls...

Of course, there is the isolation itself. It's not doing its job properly because the material they used is not properly sealed against window frames and such.

You name it, we have problems with it.  :tard:

EEK :zombiefuck:  So much for Scandinavian craftsmanship.  They use that wording here to imply how good they are but there are hacks in every country.

"Hack" is just too nice.

On the bright side, while it will cost money to fix this, the inspector thinks it's perfectly doable. And just as importantly, he thinks we will win the case if it ever ends up in court.

Did you pay them the full amount for the work yet?

Good move.  Do contractors have to licensed there?  If yes put in a complaint to the appropriate people
