Our Room Addition Pictures

He thinks he did a great job and wonders why we won't pay the last check. The pictures aren't in any order as I have several disks of them. Going to take awhile to sort through them, but I am putting up a few to start. If you want to know who did this poor workmanship job and you live in my area of mid southern TN, CONTACT ME. I sure don't want to see anyone else go through the stress and aggravation that we are having to go through.

The Room Addition that has turned into a "MONEY PIT"!

Music playing: GO AWAY.

Guess we're thinking and hoping maybe it will all go away and just be a horrible nightmare!

One thing, I have sure learned a lot from this bad experience, the number one being: “TRUST NO ONE !”

No. 2 "Make sure a contract lists everything, including the periods." You keep the original, not a copy. Sure glad I had the original copy.

No. 3 " Make sure to ask for and look at their contractors license and get references and go look at their work. Wish I had known to do that!

Trim does not fit to wall

Can stick my fingers in between trim and wall. Is the bottom a new type of cut?

Poor, messy job of attaching

the porch railing to the house

If I was doing this I would have spaced

the paneling to have the post evened out.

Looking at the walls makes you think you had a few

too many, they are so puckered and wavy!

You would think they would have replaced the piece

of wood they chipped when they put it down. Guess they thought I wouldn't see it.

Foundation sure don't look big enough

Kept saying that all the time. They said it was.

Made a mess of this.

Can you see the buckled facia? Really nailed it

in to make it fit and caused it to buckle

Was charged over 300 dollars to put the side piece

between the 2 x 4 and then couldn't nail the paneling to it. Didn't put it in the bathroom.

Back of house before the nightmare addition!

Tree shadow on end of roof.

Left in yard to mow around

I finally moved it.

Trying to charge $38 extra for painting the grill

that they were supposed to do to start.

When you look at the pictures, can you see why we ARE mighty upset with the "so called" contractor? Found he didn't have a contractors license either. I caution you, no beg you to ASK and LOOK at license if you hire something done. State law requires them to have a license if over a certain amount. Check out the work. NEVER take their word for anything. Get it all in writing. Get a copy of the license.

Freezer was supposed to fit by washer and they try

to tell me it only lacks 1/2 inch fitting. Must not be able to see too well.

They say only missed by 1/2 inch but any dummy can

see a normal sized upright freezer won't fit in this corner.

Talk about the writing

on the wall.

Guess they didn't know how to build a peaked roof!

Kept telling me the gable pieces ordered.

Does this roof look like a

gable trussed or peaked roof?

What a corner. Makes one wonder if he knew what

he was doing? Contractor says he's the best, claimed he paid him 38.00 hr. Boy is he loosing

Is this how the corners are supposed to be?

Looks like a critter opening to me.

They were supposed to put sheetrock or plywood

behind the paneling. They didn't do it.

Bathroom light not centered

over the mirror and sink

He took four months AND

we don't consider it done yet.

Darn thing is falling apart.

Gas vent and toilet vent. Don't they usually

put a cover around the pvc pipe?

Don' t know why they cut out on this board.

Shouldn't have. Did all of them that way too. I could have done better myself.

Actually don't know why they didn't use the trim that came with the doors. It looked much better!

Never saw cutouts like this before.

Old woman like me could have done it better.

Left wide spacing in roof.

Could fall in or leak. 1/31/03 IT IS FALLING IN.

Yard a mess for over three months

This is just a part of it.

Pier added but not where the inspectors said

and they are trying to chg 941.00 for 4 blocks and bag concrete

Wonder why such a large hole in the existing

foundation just to add that pipe?

Wonder what this hole in the existing

foundation was for?

Now I am wondering if all the bricks knocked out

will effect the existing foundation????

This case did go to court.

He sued because, I wouldn't make the final payment.

I counter sued in circuit court.

I won the case, but it was a small settlement.

I didn't get near enough for the bad work, the stress all this put us under nor all of my expenses back.

The main issue was the roof. It was unsafe, didn't use the boards he should have and it had 32 inch spaces between the rafters.

Some of the things wrong, the inspectors and others called cosmetic. It wasn't cosmetic to us. We had to live with it.

The house sold "as is" and at a loss.

The ceiling in the center of the room

was sagging almost 3 inches

The flat roof (lean to) they took upon

themselves to build was put up with wrong size boards and 32 inch space between the rafters

Commode sits 3 inches

out from the wall.
