Right. *It's obvious at the transition: *you can see the drop where they replaced the trim where the kitchen counter meets the floor. *My wife claims she pointed it out after they were done before they level, and the tech somehow shrugged it off.


You can also see from the trim in the addition as a whole that the level dropped. *We're fine with that; we discussed that beforehand.


But why did you pay him for a crappy job??? *And, wasn't anyone there
while the work was being done??


The big thing here that's new and of concern is that he now says:

" You can also see from the trim in the addition as a whole that the
level dropped. We're fine with that; we discussed that beforehand."

What does that mean? If there was discussion and agreement before
about the trim level dropping in the addition, how could that come up
without
it being a direct result of the floor itself also dropping? It would
seem to
me that if the trim drops, it must be because the floor drops too.....
