If I Had A Hammer…

I‘d use it on my former builder.

The picture of yours truly at right is testimony to the limited ability of the legal system to make the world work as it should.  Suffice it to say that my long-since defunct and jailed builder didn’t properly seal the foundation and floor joists and skimped on setting the footings for the columns holding up the deck.  I am currently trying to find out who his liability insurer was, whether he had an occurrence-based policy, and whether I might be able to make a direct claim on it.

The sledge hammer belongs to the masonry and excavation contractor now on site.  I borrowed it to try my hand.
