On November 1st I hired a tile person to complete a job. He started the job, then did not finish the job. He basically texted me on November 20th he could not finish the job. He left all his tools, put me in a very stressful situation as I had on 3 days to have the tile job finished before renters arrived. It ended up costing me almost $400.00 more than his quote. I also had to go myself and collect all his tools. I never heard back from him until Yesterday evening he would like to collect his tools. What are my options as I feel like he abandoned them and he should pay me the difference of $400.00 if he wants his tools back.
Thank you in advance for your advice. ...Read More

The contract in question on this project requires our company, Compaction And Recycling Equipment, Inc (CARE) to install four trash chutes into two new construction buildings for the University of AL (Tutwiler) Residence Hall student housing. Both buildings are on one contract however we installed one building in late August and the other last month. In talking to a Levelset representative (Jenny) about this matter earlier today - she advised that for the State of AL the lien must be filed within four months after the last work is complete and it is recommended that pre-lien notification be sent out to improve claimants position. It has been over four months since the completion of the first building but we are still wrapping up work on the second building, does our timing preclude us from filing on the first building or since both buildings are one contract can we utilize the second building date (last work mid DEC) for both buildings?...Read More
