Today Was Our Day Screw-Em!!

Well today was our day; I will paraphrase a little of Herb Brooks from the US Olympic Hockey team for the Title.

I posted my story in another Thread but I didn't want to get that one started up again.

I had stated I had been robbed for a building that I paid 75% of.

Some of you may have read about me paying for a building last Dec. the guy took 75% our money and didn’t come back. It was my fault, my wife thought that was a lot of money and we should think about it but I said oh he’s ok.

All I can say is if someone does you wrong get as much information and document it the best you can. I would like the think we help the Prosecutor bring him to this point. It’s not over but I’m relived we have got him this far.

Good to hear you had a good day in Court . I Hope you get every Penny back . That New Building is Real Nice . Boy I hope one day to have one even Half that Size COOL :)

Thanks, it's been a tough year, it's like I let it consume me. Now I can relax for a while.
I was happy we really had a good Prosecutor Lady on our side.

Richard

Good for you,Nice Garage

Richard,
The new building is nice. Going through this can't be easy, but it sounds like there is at least an ending in sight.

Always nice when you can get one of the bad guys, of course getting a judgement is only half the job, next you need to collect if you haven't already.

As for the building...................looks like a western version of the Taj Mahal (or as some call them, a garage Mahal)............nice space!!

Rickomatic,

Thanks



Richard

Sad story but a happy endding. What is going into the garage?

Thanks Bob,

We didn't think we would get anything but I wanted him to pay for what he did not only to us but the other people that could not have the Prosecutor represent them. Their cases were Civil and the Attorney fee's could cost more then they loss.

florida,

For right now it's just to get some cars out of the garage where I had no room to work plus the cars that were sitting out side.

Richard

Thanks, It's a 40'x80' with 14' ceiling height. I went with 8' x16' roll up doors. The way the doors are set up my wife did a good job of dragging them in one door, and driving out the other.

Richard

Congrats Richard. It's hard reading about guys who fleece others. I'm trusting like you, but had a similar situation on our addition. Luckily the guy showed his true colors before we got too far in the hole. Lesson learned. Glad you've got such a nice new space to work in! Now get to those projects! :D:D:D

I got a little satisfaction when I read my statement in Court. I was able to expose him for what he is; his Lawyer objected, said I was defaming his client. I told the Judge after asking for his permission to speak that I looked up statement in the dictionary. The definition said facts or opinion; and I could verify everything I was saying. The Judge said you can read your statement, my wife said the Attorney kind of slumped in his seat. I'm happy this part is over.

Thanks Steve,
I can't work in the new garage until I spill a quart of oil on the floor; it's virgin concrete right now.:) I do have room in the old garage so if I can get myself away from the computer I might start on a project. All of that space and I was under my wife's car outside trying to get the fuel filter changed. Talk about a job, just in front of the gas tank on a 99 Cavalier with a canister right in front of it with rusted fittings. It felt good when I finally got off and the new on though, it always feels good when you get right.:cool:


Richard

Are you going to install a Lift in part of that Building ?

If would be nice someday but for right now I just wanted to get the cars inside.
Richard

If you don't mind saying, what was your cost for the building? Was it built from scratch or is it a prefab?

It was a pole barn building package from 84 Lumber.
