I for one am not throwing him under the bus. I contacted him on Apr 11, 2018 to get a sump built. Said he was going to order materials. When my deadline came, he said he needed more materials. Told me 3 weeks to completion. After 3 weeks, said white pvc is not available. So I said just go ahead and make it in gray since that is what he had available. May 10, 2018, he said assembly on sump has started. On May 22, he said frosted acrylic was shipped by mistake instead of clear. He told me new acrylic will be delivered on May 29 and he won't be back in his shop until the following week. I waited another week and he said it's still not complete. Asked him how much longer, he said another 2 weeks. Contacted him again on June 27 and he disappeared. Have all the text messages so there is no other story other than he failed to deliver.
If there's more to his story, then he should address it.
