Welcome back, Danise. Come live in Portland. There's a beautiful 3000 sf home I know of that's for sale cheap.

MattH, thanks for the head's up on the price reduction--just ordered those two. With my Amazon Gift Certificate, I paid all of $4.98 for them.

A full refund PLUS expenses and I haven't sued for my punitive damages yet. We're waiting to see if he goes bankrupt. He won't be able to file for bankruptcy a 2nd time.

The bad thing I'll never trust anyone as much again.

sadly dealing with contractors will do that to you.

fortunately we have also had some excellent contractors.

I have so much to do around the house

getting it in order or fixing & installing things that weren't done that you can do yourself?

Danise · « **Reply #126 on:** January 23, 2010, 03:37:55 PM »

Well, one thing, I sure learned all the ins and outs of going after a contractor. I think the thing that frustrated me the most was 45 days to respond to this, 30 days to respond to that. And every time I thought I had him where I wanted him, something else blocked me. He'd call the board or whoever and ask for more time.

I do think that trick is just about over.

It took a long time to get through to the FDBPR but the last letter I received from them made it clear that they are going to take a very good look at Mr. T. I had sent their legal department those links to the news program as well as all of the other paperwork.

In the end, I think he WILL lose his license. I got his permit privileges taken away from him already and as the guy from the FDBPR told me, "If he can't pull a permit, he won't need a license".

He will rue the day he ever messed with me.

Danise · « **Reply #128 on:** January 23, 2010, 03:42:00 PM »

I'm still unpacking and getting the house in order. It's livable but I didn't get the extra room I wanted. I don't have a washer or drier---I had a real problem with people stealing from me.

Someone broke in to the sheds and helped themselves to a lot of my things. I still don't have an idea as to what all is missing. I had my nicer things in a storage rental but not the washer and drier so they are gone. Sigh.

He has assets.

Danise · « **Reply #130 on:** January 23, 2010, 03:44:30 PM »

And I don't care if he is out on the street. After the (pardon my language) Hell he put me through, I don't care what happens to him.

He didn't care what happened to Sheena or I. If I hadn't found that hotel that would take the 2 of us, we would have been living out of my car.

i'm glad you found the hotel though i'm a bit surprised you didn't find more. how long were you at the hotel?

Very good. In fact, she had gotten into something (she had gotten away from me) and was very sick. She didn't do anything on the carpet part of the hotel room. Just the tile.

Like she knew that would get us in BIG trouble.

Danise · « **Reply #137 on:** January 23, 2010, 03:55:28 PM »

I was at an Extended Stay hotel so it was like having a little apartment. And it was much cheeper then a "real" apartment". Twenty dollars a night--which included the electric, the water, parking, tv/cable and (if I had a my lap top) wi fi internet. There also was a laundry on site.

And it came with everything! 2 spoon, knifes, forks, plates, coffee maker, small fridge, cook top (no oven), they cleaned the sheets. It was very nice but very small.

It did make me feel like this house is quite big!

Danise · « **Reply #138 on:** January 23, 2010, 03:57:20 PM »

So what all have I missed?

There is no way I can go back and catch up on posts. I don't even know where I left off.

Jane · « **Reply #139 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:01:05 PM »

Der Brecer returned home today after triple-bye-pass surgery.
Bruce is writing a new book, non fiction this time
Vixmom is doing well only working too hard.

did you receive my x-mas card letter? if so you know why i'm typing like this.

Jane · « **Reply #140 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:01:47 PM »

$20 a night, excellent!

Laura · « **Reply #141 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:28:06 PM »

Hey, great to see BOTH Danise and DerBrucer posting! I will have to sit down and catch up!

Laura · « **Reply #142 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:28:59 PM »

Danise, who made your house livable? The crappy contractor? I'll be really glad to hear the whole story.

Hi Laura!
He did part of it but I found he did such a poor job that I just told him to stop. I had to get the plumbing and bathroom finished by other people.

Danise · « **Reply #144 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:33:11 PM »

There really is to much to tell by typing it.

Glad you are home DR Danise!

Jennifer · « **Reply #146 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:36:49 PM »

And DR Danise, poor DR Jane was pushed over by a dog while hiking and had shoulder surgery (and is still in a fair amount of pain).

I'm very glad to be home. DR Jane just told me about it. I hope she gets better soon!

Danise · « **Reply #148 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:44:08 PM »

Hate to say it but I must go and get something to eat!

Hugs to all and thank you for the welcomes home! I will be back.

So far we are having a very positive experience with these sellers and their agent. A couple of potential problems came up yesterday during the prelim inspection (we haven't gotten the report yet), and they've already more or less said they'll fix everything. What a difference from the foreclosed property. In the meantime, we've started perusing this showroom's offerings for new furniture:

http://portland.craigslist.org/search/fua?query=pacific+lifestyle+2123&catAbbreviation=fua&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max

We are thinking of getting a sectional with ottoman for the living room, a new dining set, and a recliner-sofa, recliner-loveseat and recliner-recliner

for the big family room that has the giant tv hung on the fireplace.
