Causing Tile Troubles

[@arianefr78]

The fact that the defendant claims his son and friend did a great job, is NOT the right answer, as he is now advertising that his employees do a bad job but he thinks it's great, he should have just admitted that his son and friend did a lousy job and that they are no longer employed by him...

[@Hatokirei]

If he thinks the work his kid did is worthy of receiving payment for, he needs to get his eyes checked again. That's just awful.

[@joy9073]

If I'm paying $100 per hour, you better do the job, not a 20 yo. Since when a 20 yo gets paid $100 per hour to lay tiles?

[@RileyCullen1]

He could be billing for $100 an hour but he can pay his son or other employees $25 an hour & he can keep the rest. He could have wages of $50 for two workers for one hour. The other $50 is his for taxes, insurance or something like that.

[@onasamaya1]

Nothing wrong 20 year old installing tile, the problem was he was not supervising and training those kids right…

[@devildoll9929]

I get $100 hour to deal weed and that requires less skill than laying tile.

[@h.Freeman]

If at 20 you can do a good professional job, you should get paid whatever someone is willing to pay. There's 50 year old novices and 20 year old professionals. It's always about skill so why people think you can low-ball young people is beyond me. It speaks to lack of class

Yes , now a days it’s so difficult to find good help they’re there for the money and wanna run I think this should be applied in schools more Not easy A class .. no actual teachers teaching kids to work on and value their work things like tire changes oil changes repairs of small furniture hang up a mirror little things that in life come in handy and this would spark interest in children to take on this kind of work and take pride of it. Along with teaching how to fill out taxes. Real life teachings for real life needs

[@getin3949]

And spent days cleaning up that sheetrock dust. It's like its alive and not fun to clean up. Not to mention having to go through it a second time but at least the second guy knew what he was doing. I don't think Marilyn gave that woman enough money back. She screwed the pooch.

[@marleonetti7]

too many contractors out there just drop people off to do the work and they dont do any work themselves . the plaintiff asked the defendant from the beginning if he did the work himself and he lied and said yes . so he breached the contract from day one and she should not have to pay him anything because the bad work they did caused the area to need a second demolition .

[@leofredette19]

He knew he deserved to be fired, that's why he never showed up again.

[@mclaybry]

We've seen many of these cases and what I don't understand is if you see them doing a bad job on Day 1, why would you not say anything? I had that issue with a painter and I had to stop the job on Day 1 and point out how sh!tty of a job they were doing.

[@getin3949]

She did text the Dad the next morning.

[@caramama1731]

At least she didn't allow them to stay any longer. Other people let them finish then sues and say it was a bad job and loses.😑 She stopped at day 3..better than the usual imo

[@marleonetti7]

unfortunately this type of situation is more common than rare because most contractors do not do any work themselves and they just drop other people off to do the actual work .

[@MrAlienmagnet]

She saw them do a bad job on day one when she got back from where ever she went, so why did she leave again the second day? She should have been there watching and saying something then.

The question at the end when the fan had asked what he should do about the kids running on his lawn....

If you think about it, that would definitely keep them little brats out of that man's yard for good!! LOL 😂

They DID lift the tile up and removed the wet mortar but that is considered demolishing because it had to be redone. Some of the tiles were cut with a dull tile saw so they had to be replaced which cost more money.

[@34stzoo]

13:30 This is where the Judge bullshit comes into play! It was a written contract and if the plaintiff did not acknowledge it, then it's void! The plaintiff not responding to the texts doesn't make it a contract. PayPal was correct to refund her the money. The texts between them showed communication between the parties about a contract and in Paypal's eyes it could've been discussed in person or over the phone! JM lives in a fantasy world that I would love to visit!

[@getin3949]

I couldn't agree more. I think the Plaintiff should have gotten much more on her claim.

[@dennyishajohnson7826]

The text asking for an amount, him giving the amount, and her paying him the amount (or a deposit based off of the amount) stated in the text then they had a written contract via text. JM and other TV judges have also explained many times that not acknowledging a text when someone claims you owe them money or a certain amount is legally saying “I owe you this amount of money.” That’s why if someone text something respond with text, or if you called them right after, reaffirmed everything said in the conversation through text. For example: “So just to confirm everything we talked about over the phone concerning the $500 you thought I owed you. I actually owe you $300, which I’m able to make biweekly $50 payments until it’s paid off. If I miss one payment without notifying you before hand, you have the right to demand the full one time payment of the remaining balance within the next two weeks.”

[@orcasgirl1]

@dennyishajohnson7826 You are absolutely correct, and this is why the Judge ruled the way she did.

[@orcasgirl1]

@34stzoo While you stated a time stamp for reference, did you quit listening right after? Judge Milian may have said first that she didn't think that PayPal should have refunded the money. But she said so based on Paypal's assertion that there was no written contract. In her opinion, there WAS a valid contract because the Plaintiff did not object to the price he sent her through text, and then went on to pay him that rate. But it doesn't seem that you are taking into account where the Judge then goes on to tell the Defendant that he is not entitled to money for an unacceptable job, just minutes after your timestamp, and further evidenced by her denial of his counterclaim. Which is essentially your argument - that the Plaintiff should get the money back from PayPal. She DID get her money back from PayPal, and the Judge ruled as such by denying the Defendant's counterclaim. So what is your argument here, then, to disparage the Judge's decision? It came out the way you wanted.

[@34stzoo]

@@getin3949 So she asking for the amount. If he said $1000.00 an hour to shovel snow. This is just an example. If she decides to call to say, what are you talking about i’m not going to pay it. Because she didn’t respond via texts she liable to paying him $1000.00. We had conversation via texts and we will call that person to clarify a particular subject. No, the Judge is wrong!

I want to say one thing to everyone here. When you own a company with other employees you don't have to be there. You can't be on more than one job installing at once. The owner of a company can't install every single job himself. That's why business owners hire people. I'm not done watching the case but people don't always consider this fact. They just make demands and don't realize that.

[@headstampballpythons3783]

I do not agree with the Marilyn’s ruling here. I would have ruled in the plaintiffs favor, but not for that amount. She didn’t have to replace all the tiles, only a few that would have had poor cuts. The full tiles could clearly have be reused, given the witnesses testimony that the thin set was still wet so it could have and most likely was just scraped off the tiles. I would have awarded her $100, Seeing that she already received her money back, so she wasn’t out any money other than the cost to replace the tiles with the bad cuts.
