  2. I would recommend that she call him and leave messages, send e-mails, and generally harass the shit out of him until he finishes the project.  She needs to be busting his chops every day, multiple times a day.  Make his life hell.  If he doesn't care about his reputation, that's about the only thing she can do to motivate him to finish.

  3. My guess is the contractor has a cash flow problem and took your sisters payment and paid subs for other projects.  Once that happened, your sister's project became a low priority until the contractor gets another project's cash to pay the subs to work on your sister's house.  She done f'd up when she paid more than 50% prior to the job being complete.

  4. These things are really taking off.  It won't be long until death by scooter is a regular occurrence around town.   Are these things supposed to be ridden on the sidewalk or the street?  I see both.  

    If scooter people ride in bike lanes do the bike crazies rag on the scooties?  Is there a new pecking order on the streets?

    The other thing we've learned it that it is easy to make great stocks with these things.  Freeze your veggie and meat trimmings, leftover turkey and chicken carcasses, shrimp or crab shells, and the like from when you are doing your normal daily cooking prep.  Once you accumulate a good stash, make stock.  I've been making all my gumbo with homemade stock since we got our first one (we are now on our second one) around five years ago.      

    Agree.  I used the stock from a pork butt that I made for pulled pork and used it as a stock for vegetable soup.  All that I had to do was strain the rendered fat.
