Stop thinking that you are a problem. <br />I wondered if it might be the chemicals or lack of that made the water a certain color... I am relieved with you that that seems to be the problem/solution.<br />I had problems here with the workers and the stories they told me and I smiled and said OK and I could kick myself every time I see the problems we have now, because I never said, wait a minute, undo it and make it right. You are the one paying for this, get what you are paying for.<br />Tate would swallow one of my socks now and then when he was a young'un.<br />And they always came back up, around 3 am.<br />I hated waking up to that sound :(<br />Now I would not mind at all :(<br />Kisses to Frenchie and to you .. we are still waiting for our buyer.

Listen, you paid for the work. They botched some of it. You had to speak up. You aren't there. They know it. You were suspicious. They didn't reassure you properly. High maintenance client? No......... Listen, if you find everything wonderful when you go there next week (I believe?), then you can take a plate of one of your marvelous food things in and make nice. However, I would have been in exactly the same state. I'm a defensive driver afterall.<br /><br />Glad the sock came up and your brother and GF are visiting. Have a wonderful time. Have something to drink and have a good laugh.

I have never built a pool or a house but have watched friends do it and some have had awful issues and they were not thousands of miles away like you are.

They either leave a huge mess, don't pay attention to details, leave me hanging at the end because a bigger and better job came along etc. At some point I started to buy my own tools and teach myself how to do some of the smaller jobs to save the headache. I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. You paid for a service, right?Donna@anangloinquébechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074337849133414753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-5097339492012878442012-11-10T10:56:01.884-05:002012-11-10T10:56:01.884-05:00Have you considered that it isn't that you are...Have you considered that it isn't that you are not the worst client ever but that they are the worst pool installers ever?<br />As a decorator you probably value customer service and give what you would like in return - consideration, respect, communication and rectification in the event something doesn't go right.<br />I think you did an awesome job considering it was long distance which can be frustrating in and of itself.<br />I hope it all works out well in the end. You deserve it!

O...I was just typing a comment and it disappeared. Oh well. Here's goes ... I was saying that communication is the most important thing, well I guess it's craftsmanship, but after that it's communication. When we bought our commercial building in Florida and was in the processing of renovating it, our contractor called us nearly every day, without us requesting it. He sent photos from his iPhone when major changes were made. This made all the difference. We were in Maryland and he was in Florida. If you can't monitor the process onsite, your contractor needs to be especially attentive to keeping you posted on progress. In the photos your pool looks beautiful. I'm sorry you experienced so much angst that could have been alleviated by consideration. Maybe you need to let your pool company know that it could have been handled differently. Good luck with your new place!
