They get loose, the world is an imperfect place.

I could understand if it was 3 days without hot water.3 days with an oven that works, just imperfectly, is not justification for a discount.I would move forward, if they bring it up, tell them your position and re-evaluate if they are persistant.

It would be fun to break it down by state, by balance range, by vintage.There is a lot of imperfection iin this nichr.

I did have to paint it, but it won't rot and it allowed me to hide edge fit imperfections.

Mostly rugs and minor imperfection are part of the charm.  

It avoids people looking at walls and finding little imperfections as when its staged your view isn't just up and down walls on the floor. 3.

every time i deal with one of these guys that disappoint me, i tell myself that i should go back to doing these things myself. i know how to do them and have done lots of projects, but i am trying to get away from that.J Scott is right, but he is saying it becuase he has a great crew that he could rely on. most of us are not in that boat and struggle to find good help/people.i am just lucky that the guy i was using finished the windows. otherwise, it would have slowed me down a week until i found someone else that could do the job. the last thing i wanted is to change conractors in the middle of the project.btw, his bill came and some of the prices are inflated. some are new items that we never discussed. i think he thinks i will not notice. he even left money on the table since he had the chance to finish 1-2 slabs of driveway concrete for $1k, and will not come back. there are many mistakes/gross imperfections with the drywall he did, as well as he did not cleaned up AT ALL after himself, so i will be reducing the amount i pay him. the truth is i just wanted to reassure myself that i was doing the right thing by deciding it's time to part ways. that was the reason of this thread.

There are a lot of imperfections on these walls and we used a regular primer and a very flat sherwin williams paint. 

In an imperfect world, there will always need to be an option for homeowners with underwater assets.

No, the real estate market is an imperfect market.
