[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 161716, member: 704"] Many times when we have built or added on I have had to take contractors to work. When I was still working I paid a contractor for a concrete pad for a new detached garage. I paid for 5 inches thick and an extra bag of concrete. Also rebar between garage and driveway pad so I could lay brick on the pad. I came at 10:00am and seen him skretting for three inches. He said oh I forgot we will reskreet. So he came that evening and I paid him. He had put on so much water that it was messing up the surface. Next day I drilled into it and it was three inches. He said I hit a small pocket. I hired a company from Fargo that does six inch cores. Three inches and it didn't meet specks for strength. I asked about rebar he said oh yes it's in there. I grabbed my metal detector and nothing. The judge made him reimburse me and gave me $1000 to have someone else remove the pad. Second time we added on to the living room and had a wooden basement put under it. First rain and water all over in the new basement. I looked at my trail cam and he had knocked a lot of dirt in as they worked. He didn't remove that dirt, he just threw the drain tile in on top of it. Drain tile higher than the basement floor doesn't work that good. Again I was lied to. So hired a backhoe and sure enough. Went to court again and he had to pay for the repair. Don't pay for other peoples dishonesty. They think they can't be touched, but I nailed their behind every time. [/QUOTE]
