Then at the end of July, Willie Farrell the contractor disappeared. it was 3 months and a week between the times he set foot on our place and even stopped returning calls o
answering emails. In fact, his email account disappeared. His "
carpenter" Matt and the helper Zach (aka
Beevis and
Butthead) appeared to busy themselves painting things and doing make work in the other
house on the
proerty but when i caught them painting trim on
windowsx that were to be removed i hunted down the missing builder. It went south fast- the guy turned
Beevis and
Butthead loose on that lull with about 3 hours of
training. Not only could they not select
which logs to insert in the holes they
wre making in the walls, they
couldnt set them properly and (as any utterly incompetent carpenter will do--) kept on cutting and
cutting. Basically, the house is ruined. Willie's business
Celtic Log Homes has disappeared as a financial and legal entity in his
efforts to avoid attempts to collect a multi-million dollar civil judgement against him, so i
dont know who to thank. Since I
i can not email the man and he is loathe to communicate in writing anymore, I thought i would share with
yall some
of he texts I
have sent him in the past few days:
To Willie Farrell
Why were logs over windows flanking fireplace on North wall 1st floor cut
completly thru then stuck back in place? You sat here with me
Saturday discussing at length how we would not have transoms inserted- but
Beavis and
Butthead seemed to have other plans
I am furious on close examination Of the destruction done in the last several weeks and you weren't here!!!!
You sent those boys out to hack random sections out of my house and are
personslly responsible for the damage done. Have you even inventories the old logs they
riunt? The smashed casework? The mess. You assured us that you would be personally repairing that mess and I really hope you have
locatedsuitable timber. See I heard all if this from you late summer
befoore you vanished. Only the painters and the wreckage you people did here is new. We need to see some positive results here

To
painters
I keep forgetting you during daytime. Sorry. There are major problems with the new construction on 10 Huckleberry
Mounain Rd and until I see the ruined logs replaced and some productive action on the project, there is nothing to say. It's a waste of both our time to make plans to seal chink and stain walls that to date exist only in the builder's expressed intentions. I expect a change by the start of the second week in December at the latest. I guess you saw the carpenters had done a good deal of painting over the summer. If your painters do carpentry I expect
yalll can
stArt right away.
