So you're wondering about the porch?

Me too. Last I knew the "contractor - and i use that term loosely at this point" called me two weeks before the agreed upon start date and wanted to start early. With half cash down. I said sure cuz I really didn't want to have to wait another minute if i didn't have to and scrambled to get the cash together by the next day which he said was fine. But he never showed up or called the next day - or any day after that. I figured it was bad weather and he'd just start when it got better which was cool. But he didn't. So i called. He didn't answer. I called and left messages asking what was going on. He didn't return the calls. I finally got word yesterday from a third person that he's "busy" now and hasn't got time.

Allrighty then... fine craftsmanship, yes - but integrity - not so much.

Better to learn that now than half way through a job. Right? But I have to admit and can't pretend otherwise - I'm really disappointed.

So anyway. I got the written version of my suit against my work - and wow! And they are fast! I read through that paper about 20 times yesterday - have to go to the notary and send it out tomorrow - but I am absolutely blown away by the power and impact of how it was written. NYS Division of Human Rights lawyers rock and I can't tell you what a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. They "get it" and totally understand what my job is doin' to me. And they're tryin' to really help me. Finally.

But first I have to see the state doc tomorrow - as demanded by my work with the threat of termination if I don't show up for the appointment. ::sigh::

I just gotta keep rememberin' - I am blessed.
