Negligent, abusive, version of a Class B contractor. Destroyed his only multi-story project he will hopefully ever participate in building. Please, for the sake of the spirit of man, woman, and child.
Imagine dreams, and then imagine hiring death himself.
I would like to say he failed from the "ground-up", but there never was an "up".
He has reverted, cowered, to garages and kitchen remodels but the truth never leaves you behind, unlike he does with his projects.
Never even received an apology.
