Hi,

What's a good way to approach the situation where the contactor
overlooked something. I understand that a contractor cannot foresee
everything and that some unfortunate things will happen.

In my situation, the contractor put an outlet where it will become
inaccessible after a wall heating unit is mounted. The contractor was
familiar with the unit before the job was started. The wall is now
finished and painted and the whole thing just looks wrong.

It hard for me to imagine that the contractor would be willing to open
a small section the wall up, remove the electrical box and put in
another in a more appropriate place, retape and repaint. What can I do
here? Insist that he does it?

Also, in a situation like this, can the contractor say "well, you
didn't notice it either and you even told me you liked it's location".

Many thanks in advance!

Aaron

Have you tried talking to him? �My hvac guy didn't connect the uptube from
the dryer to the rain cap that went through the roof. �The roof was nearly
flat, so the only way to fix it was to open up the sheetrock on the ceiling.
I told him that I'd have the drywall guy do it on his pickup list. �He said,
no, he screwed up, and he'd fix it. �Opened it up, put in the pipe, fixed
the drywall, and painted it. �No extra charge. �I live in a part of the
country in a rural area where this is common to get and keep business. �It
may be different where you are. �But talking is the first step. �Moving a
box is really no big deal.
