How should I settle a dispute with my roofing contractor?
I just had my roof done and he gave me a price of $4000.00 labor and materials. After the job he told me he was going to charge me another $300.00. He gave me a estimated bill of $4000.00 before the job was done. I asked him of course to change any plywood if there is water damage before the job. He said OK. I assume the plywood was part of the $4000.00. He change about 7 sheets of plywood during the roof job. He claims the extra $300.00 is for the plywood and the extra labor his men charges to install the new plywood. Something like $30.00 labor for each of the plywood. I paid him the original $4000.00 for the job and told him I dont have the other $300.00 right now and told him to come back in the near future for the extra $300.00. What should I do? Tell him t o take me to small claims court if I dont pay him the extra $300.00. angelo palmieri west babylon, ny 11704 ang449@aol.com
Can I run a gas line from our basement furnace to a garage furnace?
Can I run a gas line from basement furnace to unattached garage furnace? My husband has a large workroom in his garage. The garage is not attached to our home. We have a new gas furnace in our home. My husband has an older, smaller (80,000 btu) furnace he wants to hook up in the garage. He has dug a trench from the house to the garage. I am quite nervous about him doing this job (even though he is quite the handyman) and would like some reassurance that it is safe. Are there any helpful hints you can offer?
