Some people are just natural born a$!

At this point, I am not letting him do the floor to help them out financially. I am just stuck with him because I have to let him do the work, at whatever price he wants, to keep the peace.

When I moved up here, it was different. He didn't want me to pay full price for the work, and I wanted to give him the business. Now, he can pack groceries for all I care, to earn money!

I was thinking about getting Allure vinyl planks, which can be put on top of my laminate floors. Her refuses to do that. Says the laminate has to come out, and he won't lay a floating floor over another floating floor. First of all, that is not his decision, it's mine. Second of all, I can get Home Depot to come in and do it in one or two days for about $1000.

I don't think I want the vinyl flooring because I don't know anyone who has it, unless it's for an RV or in a basement where moisture is an issue. It's a good thing, because I would have to tell him that I am not using him to pull up a floor for nothing! I already put him on hold for a couple of weeks while I tried to check that out. Then I got somebody else to do my dishwasher. I told him that I did that because their sick puppies were dying that weekend. He said, so what, you could have waited. All I answered was that I didn't want to wait.
He didn't seem to have a comeback for that!

Anyway, I am going with the laminate. I will use him. It is cost effective because his price for pulling up the existing laminate and replacing it is very fair.
From now on though, I will not tell them if I do anything in the house that they won't notice. I will simply have somebody else do it, and keep it to myself.

I went and dropped off their dog yesterday, and he handed me back my credit card that I had left with him. I said, "Oh, you can keep this." He said no, and I just put it in my pocket.

He is a major ahole, and cannot be spoken to like an adult. Betsi is right. I am really angry right now, but when I get past it, I don't know how I will feel, or what I will really do about this. Right now, I really don't like him at all, and don't want him in my house working because I don't want his ahole energy around me!
