Thank you for getting back with me so quickly. No, I never saw any plans for this project though the contractor said, he had drawn it all out on his computer. They were able to get a builders permit from the city, how I don't know. Most of what was our old concrete patio still fills up the area where the room will be. I thought they had to take all that out for the support blocks to go in or can they use the old patio? There seems to be no plans to remove the rest of it. This company had done work for us in the past, new vinyl siding and replacement windows. They had done a good job with the first jobs, so when we decided on the room addition, they were the first place we went to (so the siding and windows would match). The contractor seems to have sub-contracted the job out to this other person. He often does not show up on days he says he will be here to work, always a reason he couldn't come out -- someone else had something that he had to work on first. It appears that they have more jobs than they have time or resources to work on. The builder said, he would be out today (Sunday) to work on it. He would have to do it Sunday, or be backlogged, however; he did not show up again. The good news is that we have not paid them anything to date. Tomorrow, my husband will get with the contractor to see if we want to continue this job or not. Thank you for your advice on stopping the project! I will keep you informed. Patricia Lecroy
