You should have seen it the first time they tried. It sloped toward the house instead of toward the drains - a lot. Jackhammered it back out and repoured it. Finish got a _little_ better.

And it’s not oil, maybe some kind of dirt or something. It mixes with water, and after it comes out, it leaves a nice little hole.

I think my solution is to have them rip it out, refund me the portion of the money for pouring the floor (there was other work involved), and I’ll deal with it myself.

And maybe I won’t charge them for me having to remove blocking and a 4x4 that they left in the rafters in the basement, a light fixture that was off, a wall outlet that was off, the shitty patch job on the basement floor where they had to dig holes, and the concrete they splattered on the garage ceiling’s plaster skim coat that won’t come off.

Now I’m pissed all over again.

Ironically, the company is called “A Better Choice”. :hahano: :mad:
