On to Crew #4
GC from Crew #1 fell from a ladder in the back yard of this home, and cracked his rib. He used his personal insurance to cover himself.
Strikes, 2 and 3 on Crew #3 (ABC Plumbing Company) who were supposed to start and finish on Friday last week, since they are still a no call no show. I don't believe you guys have any idea just how ridiculous it is dealing with plumbing companies in Augusta. Today, I contacted Crew #4 (another well known plumbing company), via their "contact us" section of their well put together web site.

Dear DEF Plumbing:
I have a tub/shower plumbing issue that I need a professional to take
care of. I had some work done, but he didn't align the
fixtures properly (along with a leak at an elbow). I have 2 bathrooms
on an adjacent wall. Both the vertical and horizontal alignments are
off. I need to have those things corrected. It will involve cutting
the existing copper pipes, sweating a new arrangement, moving the
valve mounts, moving a vent pipe, adding a 2X4 for support for a
shower insert, and attaching the valve wall tub insert . I removed
the entire wall so that everything is easily accessible. I will
handle drywall work. I think we're looking at about 3 to 5 hours of
work. Could I get someone to come out, get an idea of what needs to
be done, and give me a quote? I can meet late in the day today, or
around lunch time tomorrow, or late tomorrow.
Attached are some pictures of what's there.
With kind regards,
P.S. I've been looking for a new plumbing company to handle all work
on my property management business (this home is one of those homes).
Looking forward to a new business relationship.

I hope this doesn't come down to me having to DIY this one with instructions from you guys on this thread. I've got about 2 weeks worth of work from the list of things I'm doing myself (laying tile in the kitchen, painting the home, 2 granite lavatory counter tops to install, and other misc things here and there.) If the plumbing isn't taken care of in 2 weeks...I'll have no choice but to do it myself.
