I recently had occasion to speak with the contractor who re-brown-stoned my stoop and painted all the iron work. I mentioned to him that I noticed that he only painted the front of the iron work on the street level windows. His comment was: He only paints the front because he doesn’t want to get paint on the windows!!!
I was so flabbergasted that I had no decent retort.

  1. Thank you everyone for assuring me that I am not nuts.
    He made no offer to complete the job properly and he
    acted as if I was in the wrong. Unfortunately, this
    highly recommended contractor had already been paid in full when I discovered the incomplete work.

  2. lol… the retort should be if paint gets on the windows it comes off easily enuf with a razor blade!

    Or I might say that there are a lot of day labors hanging out near-by, maybe they’ll do the job right.
