Preface
Client orders house full of furniture in Nov 03 before house construction is finished. Builder walks off job, new builder found - HOORAH. February, house is to be painted, painter comes in and the house is flooded all three levels with 2 feet of water on the lower level. Washer pipe burst on top level and had been running for some time (can you picture it). All the wood, rock and part of the stairs have to come out, house dried out, builder 2 walks off job.
April, client is still acting as GC and finds builder 3 and they rebuild the house.
Flash forward to June. About 80% the furniture has been in storage since Feb and the client is demanding to have furniture delivered but I said no because she was still living in rock, and wood/saw dust.
July - most of the furniture is delivery a few late order items are taking their sweet time.
September - Blinds are all installed and there is a defective blind that has to be replaced. Client refuses to pay balance; blind manufacture refuses to replace broken blind without payment (A circle jerk that was just heaven to go through.) Builder 3 walks off the job.
Still Sept - client threatens to cancel desk order because it's taking too long and she can't work without her desk (not sure why because she doesn't work) so I said ok I’ll cancel it. Then she was like “what do you mean you’re going to cancel it”. “Well”, I said “you can get the same desk delivered to you in three days and that sounds pretty good to me so go ahead, I’ll refund your money”. (She waited the extra 10 days for her desk)
Main Course
Today – two weeks ago she finally had received a cocktail table that had been delivered once before but came in pieces (thanks Fragile Freight). So she’s carrying on that she didn’t get the table she ordered. I asked her “how so”. She carries on about the color and the design, blah. Blah, blah.
So I said that I’d be happy to fax a copy of her invoice and signed drawing. After her tantrum I told her that she should have just said that she didn’t like the table than to suggest not receiving what she recalled ordering. HA! So her final comment was "I guess there’s nothing else to say then”.
Guess not.
I think we just broke up.
