Hello brownstoners — first time poster but long time lurker here. Got so much great info from you all. I come to you with a huge problem: I just recently completed a renovation project (smaller scale, but includes a kitchen) and literally within hours of signing a certificate of completion w the contractor, I find that I cannot turn on my faucet! (backsplash too thick or faucet too close to it, it’s one of those levers so it needs a little bit of space at the back and doesn’t have enough to turn on without hitting backsplash … so no water when in the ‘forward facing’ position) … Problem is: the contractor is … well, I wouldn’t recommend him. Basically, he’s ignoring my calls. I mean, he got paid, I signed the paper saying all good. Yes, he rushed me at the end, but the point is I signed and he’s got no incentive to return. What can I do? THank you for all… I m really really desperate right now.
