Alrighty.....I'm back. After a bit of back and forth, to be honest it felt like was in Texas 2-step.....i finally suck the bulldog on the PB. The misses doesn't mess around and let them have it. To back up a bit, the bill for the reroute came in @$3200. I tell PB price and that this doesn't include trenching, conduit or backfilling.....that's on the homeowner to handle. PB comes back and says it would cost his crew $1200 to trench and then they would throw in another 1k so that we would both be in it for $2200.
I didn't feel I should pay, but at this point I just want the thing back on track....so I let the misses know their decision and that I was inclined to go along with it. Well she just can't accept that we should have to pay for something that wasn't out fault. PB was the GC, they called the permits and Miss Utility and they knew tickets are only valid for 12 days. So I let her deal with it.....long story short, they're covering the whole bill, trenching starts Tue and they apologized for the inconvenience.
Now misses just negotiated a little shopping spree for herself based on the savings.
So, we are back on and hoping to have some more updates next week, let's hope this was "THE" issue for this build, I hope so.
