    What did you do today?

    Today I did many things. The "funnest" was playing "Wii Golf" with Wifey-poo. The "puzzlingest" was being directed to download "FRST64", and then seeing that "Windows 10" wouldn't let the file be run because of a security violation. ?Wazzup wit' dat? But the tree is up, and all is...

    Is the contractor wrong, or am I??

    Thank you for the responses. Hereabouts, most individual entrepreneur-contractors do not provide anything except a bill for the work done: and I have been complicit in not insisting on one, or in providing a description of project expectations. I'm lazy: and have been sliding by on...

    Is the contractor wrong, or am I??

    Well, I'm likely beating a dead horse, but I'm not a contractor, though I've access to the codes, and can find no guidance to my question. Sure, the scope of work is well defined (usually) in commercial work, but when an electrical contractor has a work order with a homeowner saying (for...

    Is the contractor wrong, or am I??

    OK it just got resolved. Over the last few weeks he got very surly, even to the point of personal non-related matters being used by him in his lack of defense to assertions I was making. And I think he could not get out of the reality that it was he (his worker) who made the connection in...

    Is the contractor wrong, or am I??

    Greetings: Background I was an "early adapter" when it came to Solar Heating, and had a thermal "drain down" solar water heater installed in the early 90's. Then, about 10 years later, it was updated to a glycol heat-transfer system. All by the same contractor locally, with a C10 "general"...

    the question was: "Name a state on the West Coast of USA."

    So I said "Confused", and was not allowed to register. Now, if it had said "Name a State on the West Coast of USA.", I would have not misunderstood. I was going to complain to the management, but I figgered not on the first post. So, HI!:rolleyes: From Sacramento area. David
