When your patio has been ‘under construction’ for three years but you still want to enjoy the sun….hallway chill it is! Haha 😆 happy Thursday ya’ll! And yes that’s our poor dead tree. :( re: no patios #footstr

#footstr thanks you for your contribution 🦶😉

We have all these crypto-digits and we still can't set up an escrow system that can produce a patio without the contractor feeling slighted and walking or the property owner feeling cheated and suing... It wouldn't have to be fancy or even trustless... Just a mature third party that can say, yep, you completed that part of the deck... Homeowner, I'm releasing 10-25% of the funds for the next phase, do you approve? We could even roll in inspections and agorize code compliance. No more tempting 50% jackpots for unscrupulous contractors and no 50% nooses for scope-creep Kens and Karens!

I’m in the “no patio” gang right now as well, working right on schedule with my 6 year plan to eventually have one though 🤣

Nice plan! We had one but then long story short…contractor bailed half way through and took the money…so here we are years later lol.

Dude! That sucks. There are some real contractor horror stories out there man.

Indeed! So frustrating

Upside to this…chatting with the neighbours. It’s like a very boring version of Melrose Place 🤣 but it’s nice
