Just as good as winning the lotto, well for me anyway.
Wanted to share something that has affected me for a while.
About 10 years ago we got this guy to install a timber floor to our new home, which had taken us 3 years to finish as the builder put himself into liquidation and farked the a few things just before lock up, in the end we were about $70k out of pocket. Now back to the floor. Alex installed the floor and within 2 months it was rooted. Started again with lawyers and the like spending money to get money back. In the end after a VCAT order for Alex to pay us a total of $40k the have the entire floor (about 200sqm) removed and relayed it was up to us to chase him and we did, up to about 4 years ago my wife told me to let it go, as it was affecting me mentally and she saw me changing as did others too. I did, but never forgot.
Then today i get a call from Alex. What the F@#k do you want,was the first thing i said to him. After a longish conversation he tells me that he saw me at the the shopping center about 2 months ago with his wife and young children. He now wants to make things right and has told me that he is sending a money order by post to me (he doesnt want to meet face to face). I still don't trust him, but if the order does arrive and it all goes good, I'll be make a more secure payment method.
