2/2: ...discrepancy and said prior to the job being done he should've gotten approval from me about the additional cost. I heard back shortly ago that there was no cost difference, that I'm being sent a refund, and that the sub this week was busted for doing the same thing to many customers he worked for the GC but that went unknown until I piped up. Also, they're suing him *and* brought it to the attention of local GovCo. and the state Department of Revenue.
1/2: A guy got himself fired yesterday, it seems. The background on that development is he was a subcontractor for a GC who arranged for a door and frame to my house to be replaced last week.
