Default What can I get out of Pella?

Hi,

I ordered a $2000 bay window from Pella and it came an 1 1/4" to wide so
it won't fit into the rough opening without cutting cinder block,
extending head beam, etc. Pella's saying that all they can do is
re-manufacture the window. I argue that I had a crew idling for for two
days, and my family had gone to a hotel for a night (all true).
Furthermore, the mistake delays the project completion by six weeks and
forces me to have a hole in my house in mid-January rather than now when
it's mid 50's out.

What's the best strategy getting money out of Pella and what's the most
I can go for here?

Thanks,

Aaron


You're barking up the wrong tree. Forget Pella; write Obama. Tell him
you're in construction, but things have been rough and you have had to
send your people home and even move your family out of your house, but
now you think you have found a window of opportunity if you can get a
little bail-out. That should get you a couple of billion.
