No Deal

Helping out a friend with some financing on a Derksen building.  http://www.derksenbuildings.com/  It arrived today.  Just when we thought we were situated...turned out it had a wrong door, wrong siding, wrong stud spacing.  Three strikes and you're out.  Offered to go ahead and accept it with errors if they would take some money off - no deal.  This one is getting dropped off at Green Desert Living on 118 and they will try to correctly build a second one and send it out in about 2 weeks.  They had a very explicit work order...this aint rocket science.  A fine example of why I chose to do all my own building here at TFL.  91,96,71,0,B

wrong door, wrong siding, wrong stud spacing = wrong company

Good thing I have no need for someone to build for me. Or maybe I should say, I'm glad I know how and have the desire to do my own...

The Derksen Buildings out of Uvalde seem to do a good job. I do know that due to the oil boom in the area they are pretty busy and perhaps that is why they messed up on your friend's order.

As much as I would like to build something myself...I do not have the knowledge or physical strength to do so.

The best advertising you can hope for is through word of mouth. This isn't what Derksen wants but it will affect a few sales.
