    Kind of a sad update to this tale.

    Turns out, the follow was shot and killed by police over the weekend.

    Tod, good luck to you in small claims court against Eugene.  He never answered my phone calls when his shoddy workmanship became apparent.  I had always intended to take him to small claims court but never followed up.  If you need corroboration in court that his behaviour is chronic and not a one time deal, just let me know and I'll be there.  Below is my review that I've posted on other sites:

    I hired Eugene in 2000 to do a variety of tasks: cleaning & staining deck, installing some glass, building some tables for the deck, and some indoor painting. The tables that he had built never lasted the winter. The stain bubbled up, and the wood was splitting.

    I started calling Eugene in early spring 2001. I left him many, many, many messages (I think he had call display and was avoiding me) and he never called me back. The only time I spoke to him was when he actually picked up the phone by mistake. I managed to speak with him once and asked if he could replace the table tops by May, and he said no. He said to call him after his big job in October. So I waited and called him in October, and he again never called back.

    I offered him all kinds of solutions in my messages including borrowing his sander, and me sanding off the bubbling stain myself. I said that he could take off the table tops now, and replace them later in better weather if he was busy with other projects. He never replied.

    I called again in January 2002, and then gave up in the spring. I eventually hired another guy to replace all the table tops that I had already spent money on with Eugene.

    I had kept these notes as I had intended to take Eugene to small claims court, but I just got so busy that I never followed through.
