    Waterbear - We had an experience much like yours with our first PB. The "good" news is he never really got started on our pool and only ripped us off for our $17,000 down payment.

    He seemed like such a great guy when we started with him and his reputation was great with the BBB, but family problems and drugs quickly took a toll on him. He abandoned his company, employees as well as customers, and took all the money and spent it on who-knows-what. Right after he was indicted for fraud by the MO Attorney General's office, he committed suicide in a 1-car accident.

    Of course, we were not able to recover a dime as there was nothing left.

    The good news for you is that yours seems to be trying to make good on his committments, at least at some level. Good luck.
