We built a house in 2004 with a two year warrenty, which we are having all the problems fixed now under that deal.
One problem was a bad patch in the garage, about a 1/4" deep and the size of a football. They tried to patch it when they were finishing the floor but the patch didn`t hold. The cement guys came today unannounced, (supposed to give 2 days notice) but luckily I was home. All I wanted was for them to clean the spot out and put another patch in. They said ok but it will never hold like the first one.
Thinking that`s what they were doing I went back to mowing out by the street approximently 200ft from the house, looking up and there was white smoke pouring out of both doors. Thinking it was on fire I went running up only to see them cutting a square out of my floor about 4 square feet. He took it upon himself to do this wanting to do it " the right way"!
All my MF towels and buff pads were sitting out waiting to be put in there dustproof boxes, everything in there was covered with dust at least an 1/8" thick! All my drawers, cabinets, boxes, etc are covered inside and out! To make matters worse he got one of my detail buckets and used it as an ashtray! The place looked like it had snowed.
I was pissed needless to say, they offered to clean it up, then asked were the hose was! I told them to leave and called my contractor and he said he would take care of it. Meanwhile I vacuumed the worst, stopping to clean the filter which kept clogging from the dust, then I blew it out with an airhose and 3 fans blowing out the doors, then I finally hosed the floors down. Now my asphalt driveway looks like crap and needs to be cleaned.
The worst part, the "right way patch" looks 100 times worse then the little football sized indent! Thanks for letting me vent!
