Also, I see I never posted after being stood up by the "handyman".
So, I have a roof on the camper. Unfortunately it was NOT done correctly and I now have to sue the guy. It doesn't look like it leaks so I should be ok for the time being. I just know it was not properly done, plus he didn't remove the plywood from the middle or the frame (one frame board is broke in 2 places) and one of the new frame boards is actually not long enough and has fallen off the side wall a bit. Needless to say I was not a happy camper. But his screw up did introduce me to a super nice guy! Lee came out the following weekend and fixed a couple of things he didn't like about the roof that the guy I was paying to do the work wanted done. He also brought a friend and they completely gutted the camper for me. Lee also helped me get all the needed supplies to do the walls and finish the beds.
Lee has been a complete god send and at least I can say I made a new friend out of the craziness. The only crappy part is it is costing me more and more to do what I need to do. I've got $1,150 in labor for the guys (Lee and 2 others that the original roofer was supposed to pay for helping do the roof (I ended up paying everyone directly as the original guy had planned to scam them all and not pay them) plus the small down payment for labor I had given the original guy). And I'm not even going to go into the cost of supplies haha! I'm pretty sure its got to be close to 2 grand as well. SMH... Hopefully I can get the things done that I need done in the next 2 weeks as thats ALL i have left to finish the beds if I want to use it at the fair which is what I bought it for.
Thankfully things are moving along nicely! Thanks for all the support and ideas and help!
