The catch basin idea was an option before he moved the puddle up stream higher in the middle of my driveway... The old low point was where the driveway met the grass. See the survey drawings earlier in the thread. The new problem he created will now cost more money to fix and require digging...

I thought about that. But he also cut my existing driveway and that cut is where the new puddle is. Only solution is to redo the whole existing driveway to fix. So sure he can spend the money to excavate everything. Haul it all off, redo the whole existing driveway. Put grass seed down oh and...

Trying real hard to blame the victim I see... Obviously the original scenario you can agree is messed up so you had to come up with a new version that is more extreme to try and make this my fault lol. But sure, I'll play your game. If they told me it would defy gravity and believed them...

This was my first year mowing my lawn. I mow roughly once a week and use a string trimmer around places I can't get the ride on. However I don't edge around the driveway so to speak. My lawn is definitely a mess though. I'm still learning the right way to handle that.

An update to this. I added a 90A sub off the main w/ the SER cable then hardwired the 60A EV charger to the sub in the garage... That way if I ever add a second EV I can run a 2nd charger off it and just lower the amperage of each to ~40A or so.

You're cute.

Yeah I'll have a better update on Monday or Tuesday when the 2 other contractors come to give the fix. The reason I'm saying to cut through the driveway is for two reasons. #1. If I go straight out from this picture it goes up hill. So no where to hit daylight that is lower. to find daylight...

Not that I love this idea but what about one of those surface channels that have grating on top? Instead of a point to point pipe if that makes sense? The reason I'm thinking that is so I don't have to have the driveway repaved over after putting a pipe in.

I'd argue the opposite. I used a credit card. Typically if I chargeback the credit card he the CC company will usually side with the cardholder unless the contractor proves he was in the right. The cc company isnt just going to take his word for it. They are going to ask where I agreed to the $...

And another point... In the B2B world. Typically when a business is hired to deliver services their is a clause in the contracts that say, "If you fail to deliver services agreed upon then you will be financially liable when we go the extra mile to undo or redo whatever you were supposed to do."...

Lololololololololololl... Way to try to make the victim the bad guy. Where did I move the goal post? Also funny that you are belittling me for trying to explain something to you like you asked. Lol, the Contractor did not ask for a detailed SOW or drawing or anyhting. Maybe the should have...

Kinda works to my point though. If I was to buy a compressor and air handler and install myself then try to hire an AC company that is "licensed to add refrigerant" they may or may not do the work, I guess depends on how busy they are, etc... But for a Manufacturer to not even give us that...

Good question. I was thinking more of dredging but I guess a channel lock system but be the real solution to lower the water level. This example applies to my situation in that the SOW for the example had two deliverables for agreed upon price: Move cars from one side of body of water to the...

The path forward depends on what the contractors come back with a cost to the new problem. I originally was going to pay $7700 roughly to have gravel paved AND fix the drainage issue. The proposed solution to just my drainage problem was $3500 by putting a pipe in. I've paid $3000 so far as a...

Thanks, it seems that is the consensus. I've been out there lasering it today and if I had the whole driveway regraded it would only be a 1.04% grade if everything is done perfectly. I have two new contractors coming to see if they could potentially lower the lowest point further to widen that...

Where does it look like that? Can you quote somewhere that said I wasnt willing to pay for agreed upon work? If you would have read I actually was paying almost 25% more for this contractor then the previous one because of their promised work. Hah I never even asked to negotiate. I got 2 quotes...

I been around the block a few times. I got stories for days.

Sorry - For clarification I mean industries where the manufacturers of said products that we need will only sell through a dealer or distributor(And then distributors that only sell to dealers, etc)... Air conditioners for instance. I couldnt buy a new carrier Air conditioning to have installed...

Yeah I feel that. It must have something to do with me going from defending the problem here to apparently defending my character... Usually that's what happens when people are criticized and condemned by disregarding the facts :) But at this point the original question is over as I already am...

Path 2 was tried... "They just came, and left, because while I offered to pay them an additional $1000 on top of the original $6760, they wouldnt repave the entire "original" driveway to ensure it was graded correctly and fix the problem. So essentially I offered to pay them $8760 for roughly...
