Wow I'm really I overwhelmed by people's support on this forum. I didn't expect it at all. To those people who implied I was naive and stupid I must agree I displayed a degree of this.I felt I did do due diligence by checking the tradesman had a registered address with the BBB and verifying his home address. I also did a reference check with a…[Read more]
