If only there was a negative star system. Contracted to finish a small stone wall. We provided materials. The wall is falling over within 6 weeks. He says it is because we didn't have the right stones, we have water drainage issues, we didn't tell them we wanted it to stand and not fall...okay?!? The section that previous contractor constructed with the same materials is appealing visually and somehow even with the same drainage stands sturdy. He said the previous contractor got "all the good rocks". Actually, the contractor chiseled the stones to fit. I know because we purchased two stone tools for him and he wore one down. I tried to tell Lanfried that we have a 5 gallon bucket of chiseled pieces thus proving that the contractor didn't just "use all the good stones", but three times he interrupted me and mocked me so I couldn't finish my sentence. Apparently, the only thing that he uses a chisel for is the chip on his shoulder. The yard was left in a mess which I cleaned up. He agreed with me that even a 5 year old can just stack rocks on top of each other with no integrity. But we thought we hired a professional mason. He said it is our fault because we didn't opt for the over $3000 cap stone he offered. But, once again, the previous wall has no cap stone and remains solid. With our money in his pocket, and our wall in a crumble, he huffed off to his truck and sped off. Good riddance!! read more
