and laughed hysterically as we stared into the tank. Not content with the carnage we had wrought we dipped the net one more time and captured two more unsuspecting morsels. Down they went and we headed back to the party and quickly forgot about our snack.
his favorite fish because it had decimated his tank eating four of his fishes. 
My wife leaves enough hair in the shower that I could knit a sasquatch costume out of it
Luckily it just collects in the drain but she just leaves it there and I'm usually the next to shower and get stuck cleaning it out
I'd love for either one of you to say that where your wife can hear it.
it was 1 1/2 (appx.) when we got it. we've had her for about 8 months at this point.

Based on your description of the behavior, isn't this like rubbing my nose in donuts when I act out of line?mr. furley said:
you'll get there. feel free to vent as to why the contractor is getting the boot
Ugh... Sorry GB.
I usually go with vodka soda when trying to hydrate but one time that led to me and a buddy splitting a liter after we already had several tall beers and then later getting into a coconut and wine bottle fight on the beach
Starting with a Bloody Mary on the plane. They use V8 as mix. Probably the healthiest thing I’ve ingested this week.

Horrible. Even worse, sounds like you're going to end up with lawyers involved one way or the other.
I actually doubt that lawyers will be involved. One warning sign I should have picked up on is that our contractor has had some bad "luck" with "unreasonable" clients before us. He told us horror stories about trying to collect from some of them. Of course, now we understand that it was probably less a matter of luck and the unreasonableness of his clients and more a matter of his business practices. The most notable thing in those stories is that while he protested and complained about those folks, he eventually skulked away without collecting what he believed he was owed.
I could. I sincerely hope it isn't necessary though.
Oh, I hear ya. And I hope it resolves as painlessly as possible. You've been through enough lately.
I am actually learning from my mistakes now, I hope.
I am all for reducing drama and working towards the result that will make you happy and lets you enjoy your house.
I shudder to ask... but has the architect been awol too? IME, they're the ones that should have been putting their foot down about the quality and getting fixes- not you.
If by "this gent" you mean the older guy, then no, I don't know him personally. But the guy I know who owns the painting company has worked as a sub of his for years. He says he is a real SOB to work for, but if my friend was doing a remodel project he wouldn't hire anybody else. That's a pretty good recommendation.
Completely AWOL.
Yea, that would make me murderous. Can you stop paying the GC until some one does the work correctly, or F it, can his ### is the best solution. Sounds awful.
I rented a villa in St. John one time that ended up being seriously sub standard. Bed bugs, serious safety concerns for my toddler, false advertising in that the ####### kitchen was in a different building than the rest of the house. But I digress, after giving the guy every opportunity to come right and offer a discount or something. I went nuclear on the social media, innerwebs threat. I was detailed and told him exactly what I was going to do if he didn't do the right thing. He immediately acquiesced and refunded the last week to me with a written mandate, that I not drop the innerweb bomb on him after the fact. I agreed. People suck
such a different world. I can't take a step forward with construction if I don't have all the permits and building/county approvals in place.
