It is not the first growth wood you lost and therefore not as good as the replacement you got (both in wood and in green-ness). So congratulations on your fabulous luck but I imagine a court date might have gotten you newly milled, exactly matched, redwood siding (along with headaches and schedule issues). Alls well that ends well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-55996471368960651162011-02-16T14:05:14.028-08:002011-02-16T14:05:14.028-08:00Lisa, I'm so sorry you had to go through all t...Lisa, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that crap. We're having work done to this house this spring, and the most nerve-wracking part was finding an honest, and decent contractor. <br /><br />On the upside, YAY you found your siding. I almost cried last year when we helped friends demo part of an old addition on their house. The redwood siding must have been 3/4" thick. I begged them to reuse it, and we even came up with hair-brained ideas to build old-growth chicken coops, but before we could latch on to it...they simply threw it away. It broke my heart. You're right, you simply can't get that kind of redwood anymore.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-11731650907164211282011-02-16T13:54:57.964-08:002011-02-16T13:54:57.964-08:00I can't wait until that Judge Judy episode, bu...I can't wait until that Judge Judy episode, but more importantly, I can't wait to see your beautifully covered house!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-17437681506124702162011-02-16T12:08:56.459-08:002011-02-16T12:08:56.459-08:00Good news indeed, but I'm wondering if you'...Good news indeed, but I'm wondering if you'd like to name names or hint at names as I'd really like to avoid these guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-32259251696041732672011-02-16T09:13:31.178-08:002011-02-16T09:13:31.178-08:00Congratulations!

I was wondering if they had removed the siding and sold it, since it is highly desirable. We had similar "issues" with the guys who we originally hired to fix the roof of our barn. Suffice to say, 5 months after our original phone call to them, we had someone else do it for less $ and with better materials. We fired our original guy for gross incompetance, among other things- I do believe I heard him literally shit his pants over the phone,as we left him with a very substantial bill for items we never wanted, never ordered, and did not need. Taking someone to court is unwelcome, but in this big bad world no one is afraid of you unless you lawyer up. It is surprising how many people roll over and let bad people walk all over them. Glad you stuck to your guns and got what you needed. Sorry it cost you more in stress, worry and money (possibly) than you anticipated. Get everything in writing and it always helps your case. Congratulations! When we had our barn roof finally replaced, I do believe I could have walked on the moon, I felt so high! This was after nearly half a year of us crawling up metal ladders in ice storms, rain storms, blizzards, and really gusty 50 mph winds to keep tying down the tarp with ropes and raw nerve. NEVER AGAIN.<br /><br />AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-8185418557604068102011-02-16T02:24:19.651-08:002011-02-16T02:24:19.651-08:00how wonderful!!! and what a happy dance - at last!...how wonderful!!! and what a happy dance - at last!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-85432757657824138842011-02-15T23:34:36.687-08:002011-02-15T23:34:36.687-08:00Oh Hooray and Congrats!
