This reminds me of the time my parents hired 2 neighborhood addicts to do our bathroom tiles. They were not licensed contractors and didn't use any measuring devices. They just laid the tiles by hand, and eye-balled as they went. What should have been straight tiles ended up being crooked. Like someone just threw the tile on the floor and glued them exactly where they fell. Even as a child I was mystified. Lesson learned at age 10: don't hire "cheap" labor 😂😂

[@innocentBystander19]

1. Plaintiff can’t sue the other guy if she doesn’t have his info, because only the defendant knows everything about him 2. If plaintiff sues the other guy, he can say “this woman has never paid me a penny” or “my cut was only $150” Judge got it 100% right.

She should have checked to see if the “ contractor “ was licensed & insured.

By the way. That doesn't mean someone is good. Mine told me he is licensed. Maine doesn't require that. Insurance is a joke I should have listened more carefully. Well I screwed people won't pay the last payment. Because you suck

No, he should have made up a contract and had her sign all the things he was to do to the interior of the house. Without the contract and no permits, she was as much as fault as he, with no contract signed.

My husband was a contractor in NC and he would sub out jobs such as electrical, plumbing , and others. Husband had a situation where a sub did crappy tile so he had to go back and fix the tile work. It doesn't matter who did the work in end all that matters is who the homeowner signed the contract with....

[@feliciagallo9832]

What's with the Herman Munster bangs on the defendant?

[@BobBlumenfeld]

The defendant's insistence that, even though the checks were all written to him, for some reason he shouldn't be considered the prime contractor amazes me. I wish the judge would have let him present his argument and make an even bigger fool of himself.

[@1967davethewave]

I don't think I've ever had anyone ask me for an I.D. when they were writing me a check. Sure, you have to have one when you cash it, or write it to someone else, but to accept a check, I've never heard of that. We all know the defendant is crooked, but that was the easiest part of his story to kill. I wish the judge had called him out on that.

[@horrorluver565]

I was thinking that too

[@TheCybertiger9]

What i think happened here was the Defendent knew the Plaintiff and did the electrical work for her, SHE ASKED IF HE KNEW ANYONE WHO COULD DO THE REST OF THE WORK DONE CHEAPLY, He said yes, but everything would be done under the table, so no paper work and he would have to get paid so he could pay the other workers he obtained. And the way the TV program works she got her money back, and he kept his. no losers.

[@themermaidstale5008]

The issue with ‘no ID’ is the man wouldn’t be able to cash the checks that are written to him.

[@1967davethewave]

@@themermaidstale5008 You don't need an I.D. to deposit a check in your account, or should I say I don't need one at my bank. I get if he wanted to cash it at her bank would be a valid scenario but there were several checks written and all of them were to the defendant. And had there been an issue like that with a contractor not having an I.D. and wanting me to make multiple checks out in a different person's name it would have been a big red flag. BUT, the defendant said the other guy didn't have an I.D. so he had the plaintiff writhe the checks to him. Neither he or the plaintiff ever said that was mentioned at the time. So I'm sticking with a lame excuse to try and get out of paying the woman back for sub par work.

People's WORD means zip these days. Anyone contracting construction work with my deceased husband and I always had a written contract and our WORD to do it well and with little waste. They depended on our word and we depended on their word to pay us. In 20 years, we NEVER had a problem or got sued or called back to fix anything we did. We were always paid on time, what we charged. No integrity these days. No pride in the work. Too many people trying to get a premium job done on pennies. What a mess.

[@computerpro123abc]

a floor that is not even, requires a structual engineer to examine it before it collapses. the floor first has to be reinforces( usually with wood or iron) To level the floor requires that the floor be ripped up and the sagging joist replaced!!!( landlord never want that). OLD FOORS ARE NEVER LEVELED BY THE OWNER ( IT COST TOO MUCH), so they usually just sandwich(add wood or iron to the joist(wooden beams) to reinforce the floor. Having a moron work on a floor is VERY DANGEROUS. A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER HAD TO EXAMING THE JOIST (BEAMS UNDER THE FLOOR FIRST). IN NYC EVERY FLOOR SAGS AND WHEN YOU CALL THE NYC BUILDINGS DEPT THEY SAY" WE ONLY GO OUT IF YOU SEE THE BUILDING COMING DOWN" IN ANY OTHER CITY, YOU COULD NOT SELL A BUILDING WITH SAGGING FLOORS, BUT ANY THING GOES IN NYC.
