This is a crednza I completed recently .All file drawers are legal size,
using accuride full extension slides .Again the wood is black walnut and
the
inlays are tiger maple toned down pretty much.

The client ,one of the top sales agents for Harry Norman realtors in
Atlanta, ended up short changing me for $1500 on the final payment after
the
item had been delivered .


If he did that to me, I would take him to small claims court. I would also
picket his office till he paid. Nothing like a little public embarassment
to make them pay.

Beautiful work, as always.

You know, Mike, it's 99.99% of real estate agents that give the other .01%
a bad name. My sympathy, but not surprise, at your misfortune.

Thanks Scott, It is they that have to live with it ,personally it
would irk me every time I saw the piece.......

I had a client that didn't want to pay me the balance on a job. They kept
putting me off and putting me off.
Finally, I had enough and took a day to collect. I went to their office
about 9:30am and told them I was there to pick up my check. The receptionist
said the owner wasn't there to sign a check and that i would have to come
back. I told them, No problem, I'll wait.
I had my lunch packed, so I sat down and waited and waited. I had alrady
checked with the PD and asked what they would do if called to remove me and
they told me it would be civil matter and do nothing but recommend that they
pay me. So about 6pm I was told they were closing and I would have to leave.
i told them I was going no where without a check and they could lock me in
there, but I wasn't leaving.
They threatened to call the cops and I told them go ahead and that I had
already spoke with them and told them that they said it was a civil matter.
Needless to say, about 7:30-8:00 someone miracliously came up with a check
and we all went home and that was the last job I did for that design
groupg
YMMV

Yeah, but we're talking about a real estate sales person here. Only people
with moral and scruples would be bothered by it. He smiles at the good deal
he got.

That would probably be a futile effort. Most realtors and used care
salesmen are hatched from the same egg.

Few years back I got involved in a brouhaha at our local city council. The
idiots thought it would be a good idea to get "corporate sponsorship" for
the elementary school sign. A few of us clearer thinking folks fought it but
lost. The big shot realtor in the area, who was responsible for the idea in
the first place, won the bid, put up a brick monument to her company, just
shortly before she was indicted and found guilty of stealing appliances from
houses she was listing.

It was also about that time our major league facility was named "Enron
Field" .... nuff said.

Why don't you send a quick message to the guys at The Consumerist? I
love that site. They always have tales of what they politely call
douchebagery.

Mike,
Take your case to your local TV/radio station. Have them do an investigative
report and publicly embarrass the realtor, guess they will think it twice before
screwing (no pun intended) around with us woodworkers.

Bruce Williams of talk radio fame says to take several small children with
ice cream cones, coloring books and other activities along when you want to
get some action. Then of course just tell them you will wait.
