Text message sent by [redacted] October 1, 2017: Ron, on August you partially completed tree work for meI paid you in full, a check which you cashed on August for $I paid you because it was the fourth big job you had been hired to do and you had always completed the jobs satisfactorily When I told RJ you were coming back to finish, but I had already paid you, he was furious! Emphatically claiming that I had just been ripped offI defended your integrity vehemently! Insisting that you were an honest man and that you would be back to finish the workI continued to defend you despite your not returning calls, thinking you were just busyI guess I was terribly wrong and you do lack integrity and you are a dishonest manYou completed less than hours of work and NOT the FULL DAY OF WORK FOR WHICH I PAID AND YOU AGREED TO DOShame on me for trusting you, shame on you for your lack of integrity! I desperately want you to actually be an honest man, but your failure to contact me and come back (after months time) to complete the work leaves me with no choice but to accept that RJ is correct and I was ripped off.Text message sent by Ronnie [redacted] October 2, 2017: There was no rip off time is only a partial factor in the job personal and equipment is otherPlus danger and difficulty I quoted at 2500$+ for the jobI had full intentions to clean up the stuff on other persons property but not in degree heat and humidityI have been busy but no excuse not to have finishedBut don't think that I made a ton of money off you after paying crane and other guys I had there it was minimalBoth my climbers said I Low balled bidSo up to you if you wait for me or hire someone else.Text message sent by [redacted] October 3, 2017: Ron, your exact words to us were that it was a "full days work" and that $would only get us hours time with the crane on site, therefore you recommended hiring him for a "full day" at $You also set your fee at $for your portion of the workI certainly think you can understand why I thought you were not coming back after months with no communication despite our messages to youA second text indicating "You're still on my list of jobs to complete" would have gone a long way to keep the faithI realize your guys showed up long before the crane so they were idle, but that is on you and your crane operatorI also realize your chipping equipment was down, again, your responsibilityIf you want to make this right, you can either reimburse us for half a days work ($600) or you can come back and chip the branches and give us half a day's workYour men worked less than hoursI think you owe us at least another hoursThat would be a hour work dayThat certainly is not more than a "full days work"As you know, I have lots of tree work that needs taken care ofI've already paid someone else to do the work on my neighbors property that you were to come back and completeI hope that you are willing to restore the faith and a working relationshipYou have done other jobs for us, all of which were $1200-and I was happy with your workIt would be a shame to loose that working relationship over half a days work, as there are many more jobs yet to do.There has been no further communication from Mr [redacted]
