A couple of weeks ago, I explained that Angie was honing her bargaining skills. It seemed like a great deal. Just like when you bargain in China, you have to be careful. Some things that are sold by people that will bargain with you, may be a knockoff.
This is what happened. A yard crew was in the area doing tree trimming and odd jobs around the neighborhood. Angie explained to them that we were adopting from China and did not have the money. She did have them look at some palm trees in the back yard. They noticed that one was dead and said it was in danger of falling over. She paid them a discounted rate to get rid of the palm and tree a tree out front.
The next day, they were back doing more work for our neighbors. They talked to Angie again. She again explained the adoption and our need to save money. She did mention she would like to get gutters up. They took a look and, low and behold, they saw a need to get it done or it would damage our house. They quoted a price. Angie was worried about damage to the house. She gave them the money thinking they would come right back and put up the gutters. They did come back, but they were too tired to do it that day. They said they would come back.
They have been back, but not to do our work. They keep coming up with excuses on why they can't get back to do the work. Be aware that you must be very careful giving people money before they do the work. I have sought the help of a news organization that investigates companies. Angie has posted a warning on Facebook to be aware of what this company is doing. They might find it harder to get work done in this area.
