Rave and Rant Part 2

:Tantrum: :Tantrum: :Tantrum: When a week passed I called the wife and

asked how things were going and she said that he had some figures, but that he needed a few extra days. When Friday came, she called and said he should have everything priced by Tuesday. Well, I had gotten a job out of town and would be commuting to St. Augustine (40 miles) for 3 days and I had to be there by 7 am. (I'm not an am person and with medication etc. that was a problem in itself.) So, I asked my sister if she would please call him and get the figure. I could then add the 2 figures together and get in touch with my mortgage broker. I arranged to call my sister on my celll phone at a certain and find out the price without anxiously waiting until I arrived home. As luck would have it, I was working with the team lead and you know that cell phone calls when working are sort of taboo. Anyway, I finally did get my sister and she didn't sound too happy. I knew that the fees for a manufactured house were 30,000. A modular would be more and I knew too the fees given then were exceptionally low across the board. I was thinking 30 - 40. The price given was $57.000! He told my sister that he wasn't making much etc. and then he said that the house has ducts but no air conditioner and said the man told him, He said I need to have a crane to hoist the house onto the foundation. Well, my sister said I would need an itemized list for the broker and he said he would give me one if I was interested knowing the price, It ended with my calling him in the evening. I told my sister there is an a/c and she said no, he said the man told him.......well, when I got home, I found the papers faxed to me from my builder and there was an a/c included, a crane and a crew etc. It turned out "the man" wasn't my builder but someone at the home manufacturer who he had called - and since when was the a/c, crane etc. from the foundation down? I emailed -Jr. and told him what was going on but still didn't mention that the man was interested in becoming a builder for the company. I read him what my sheet said and he asked if I'd fax it and I said yes. Later though I realized that the prices were on the sheet but then thought, well, this is "family". Knowing me, you know I am a great believer in fate. When I went to fax the information to him, I had a problem with the fax machine. My sister had moved it because she had painted her room and I figured she had touched something. She wasn't here and I'd have to wait until she came home. I decided to call his wife (who BTW runs the office) and explain what happened. I was surprised when I did not get the wife but the man himself. He said he called the home manufacturer this morning and that my builder gave me wrong information and said I should call him. Well, it was then that this stroker who managed 2 strokes from stress, had enough and the "you know what" started to hit the fan! I told him that the builder came highly recommended from the company and I would call him. I don't remember whether

he said he would also call him. A short time after I get a call from the wife. She asked what I wanted him to do. She said that he noticed there wasn't an a/c etc. and he knew I needed them and so he included those things. Basically she was the "peace maker". She informed me that I should get everything in writing. She did ask about who was responsible for certain things and I said I would find out. I called my builder and got their answering machine. I hate those things and I was so upset that I started off like a machine gun, and :Tantrum: :Tantrum: :Tantrum: about the situation with the gentleman and I went on so long the machine shut off, so I called up again and just said, call me before you call Mr. So-in-so. My number is........ :Tantrum: :Tantrum: :Tantrum:
