As my Dad used to say, should look like stacked nickels. This is beautiful welding.Find a new welder and don't pay that guy a penny. You gave him a cut sheet and he still messed it up.

Good for you!Since you asked... I requested in writing a full refund (a request I had previously made by phone). He refused in writing. I then shared this post with the welder and he was pretty (very) upset. I pointed out that I had not shared his identity because one bad job is not worth harming a person’s reputation. I still have not revealed his identity to those that have asked. He still refused to provide a refund. I indicated that I was going to file a claim with the county small claims court. He still refused to provide a refund and thought he was calling my bluff. The sherif delivered the summons later that week.
I’m decent with regulations (part of my job) and pointed out that by county regulations, he had virtually no chance of winning in court. He offered 50% refund. I filed to schedule the court date. He folded a few days before he had to respond to the court and gave me a 100% refund. We met in a bank for the transaction and was professional about the settlement and transfer.
I sincerely hope he is doing well these days.
Or he was tooHe was never really clear on how much of the $8k was labor vs materials and if he had paid in full or not.... and never updated if he got all or any of his money back...
but being 2 years ago, Id bet whatever decision was made on the issue is already made.
Great to hear it all worked out in the end. The saddest part is that he felt that the work he performed was defensible.Since you asked...
