An entitled construction contractor tries to scam my grandfather out of his new home,

intentionally messing with paperwork just to try and stop the process of building this house.

But in the end, this guy gets caught red handed and eventually gets sent away to prison for 15 years.

Here's what happened. So this is something that happened to my grandfather.

To understand him, he was a quality control engineer for a pretty major manufacturing firm,

and he was a master of aggressively renegotiating deals.

He was and is a strict taskmaster, not entitled or unreasonable,

but if something went wrong, you absolutely would hear from him.

So he decided that he wanted to renovate his home,

take the moderately big two-story house, and add two new bedrooms and a master bath.

He brings in a contractor and gets a quote,

says as part of the work, they'll need to completely refinish the front two.

My grandfather agrees and they start to work. It's a serious effort.

Wines up carving open the whole front of the house and all sorts of madness.

Things go well enough at first, and the deconstruction goes smoothly.

But then starts the construction.

At first things were just slow going, sluggish delivery from sources,

slow permits from the city, you get the idea.

Then things get really silly.

It took them over three months to start and finish the plumbing,

and four months for the insulation.

My grandfather is paying for a lot of time and not a lot of work being done.
