Matrix man; My company does not subscribe to the contractors response but can sympathise on how difficult collections can be, that said you shouldn’t comment on a story you don't know. Had you watched the actual news report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-LqLU7CxeA, you would discover that the action was sanctioned by the local government. Furthermore, your account of how you paid off your contractor was in reaction to a fee you felt should be lower. Having even 20 estimates done after the fact is completely incredulous because the assessments can only be made on what is obvious and no hidden detail work can be accounted for by those making the assessments. Even assuming your contractor were a crook, your haloed response to your contractor is completely uninformed as is your comment on the video.

Very beautiful work. Almost missed appreciating the finished product due to using your before photo as the primary photo.
