Ending of -- The Great Fence Debacle!!

So we are DONE with the Great Fence Debacle!!

They came out and fixed the fence FINALLY!!

And of course I finally had a call from someone at the local home improvement store after sending that email to their corporate office. DUH right, like the next day!

The home improvement store has even offered to credit my account for the four months of craziness I've had to go through.

Maybe because they had to see what I've been going through. When the fence people where supposed to come out and fix the fence on a date they stipulated and even confirmed through the home improvement store...

Guess what ...

They cancelled. Ha no kidding, see what I've been going through home improvement store peeps!

So the manager was not happy and was immediately on the phone with them.

They were out the next day, as well as the home improvement store install manager and I can tell you, NOT HAPPY with them.

I guess we'll see how much longer they are a vendor of the home improvement store.

The guy that came out to fix the fence, couldn't believe he was the 4th from the company to visit my property to fix their mistakes!

I'm like dude, seriously, you are!

So DONE, END, COMPLETE!

YAY!!!!

On a side note -- Sorry I haven't been posting or been online in more than a month. I've had a lot going on with my day job.

I traveled the first part of September and the last part, and the first part of October. 

Oiiii, It was all good though!! Took a major class and exam call the the HCCP (Housing Credit Certified Professional). It's a national certification for LIHTC (Low Income Housing Tax Credit).

Then we had our yearly managers meeting. It was awesome!!

Now my team and I are bating down the hatches as we have auditors coming out this week and at the end of November we have Compliance audits.

We came together in February 2016 to pull this community out of trouble, and while there's still some rough waters, we have shown since then what we can do and how we've met the goals set for 2016. 

(Everyone from owners to Managing company CEO's are VERY happy with our progress!)

It's not easy being cheesy!!

Love my team!! Hard workers one and all.

Read lots and stay spicy my friends!!

The Great Fence Debacle - Part 3!

So, The fence installer who was supposed to 'fix' my fence 'finally', "CANCELLED"

Yeppers, you read that right..."CANCELLED"

If you've read parts 1 and 2, you know I've been going through this since June 28, 2016.

This time the excuse was...

'Ah well you know, we have to look for lines so we don't bother any lines and the guy who does that can't do it today and you know because of where it is with the sidewalk and ah, you know with the hurricane coming in, we can ah do it next week."

OK, FACTS--

Fact 1.  My fence is no where near any lines.

Fact 2. My fence is no where near any sidewalks.

Fact 3. It was two days before the hurricane came in.

I'm like Ahhh, No.

I have to be in Orlando for a week long meeting next week.

The guy...' Ah, ok, I can pencil you in tentatively for 10.17.16.'

EXCUSE ME!! TENTATIVELY?? WTF??

I'm like, what ever man, yo do know you've made me miss another day of being in the office right?  For crying out loud!!

So I sent The Home Improvement Store who hired them, an email today.

This 4 month long ordeal, I'm DONE with!

Done, stick a fork in me done! Ding, ding, ding.(That's the buzzer going off) 

I also let the know that while I've kept their name out of it so far, I have no problem with posting the dumb shit they have put me through for these past 4 months between them and their installer.

Because of Facts --

Fact 1. They had a crew who didn't know what the hell they were doing.
Fact 2. They had the 'same' crew come out and 'fix' most of the original issues.

Fact. 3 Someone either with the home improvement store or the installer 'changed' the actual footage of where my fence was supposed to end.

Fact 3. When another 'man' came out to fix the mistakes from crew 1, he refused to move the fence to where it should be unless I or the home improvement store paid for it.

Fact 4. Yes, I have ALL the proof!

So, let's see what happens.

The Great Fence Debacle...

I don't usually go on about a lot of personal stuff, but this has just got my goat if you know what I mean.

Hubs and I decided to go with a National Home Improvement Chain to have our fence installed around the house. For several reasons...
   * They are a National Chain, obviously they care about ...
      - Their product,
      - Their reputation, ECT...

Well, this debacle has been going on since the installers showed up to install. Of course Hubs and I are both at our day jobs, so I get the call they are at the house. I wasn't impressed with speaking to the man and should have known something was up when he 'wanted to follow the flags.' both the National Store and his boss set down. I'm like, well you really need to go by the blueprints that we're given to you. --- Like I said, I should have gone home.

Hubs calls when he gets home an says, you are not going to be happy. I get home and there are:

   - Piles of dirt every where, which they were supposed to 'rake' in.
   - Crooked fence posts, 
   - Gaps of daylight streaming through the posts and fence, 
   - At least a 6 inch gap between 2 fence posts, 
   - And I say the biggest issue of all ... One fence along the house with a gate is A foot back from where it's supposed to be!

Of course I call and email at once, received a call the next day. Oh we're so sorry, we'll have to have someone go our and look at it.

... Let's just say I've been going through this since 06.30.2016.

Want more ... stay tune next week for more of The Great Fence Debacle!

Until then -- Read Lots and Stay Spicy!!  C  ~
