Good people and hard working folks in that area.
Moved from Lake Waccamaw NC after 20 years and the people down there wanted your business. Saterday, Sunday you need help, make a phone call and they would ask what time they needed to be there.
Moved up here to Elizabeth City, stones throw from VA and totally different world.
Still living on the yacht in New Bern and was to met the carpet guy on saterday at 9 am here in Nixonton NC at the house I bought. Drove 126 miles one way to get here and he never showed. Monday they were so sorry but we planned it for the following saterday NO SHOW again. Finially on the third saterday the guy showed up. They came the following week and installed the carpet and I wrote the check minus my expences for the driving fuel and time. Talk about mad. About 900 less than the total. I don't come cheep. LOL Threatened court, ect, ect. Never heard another word.
There still good people out there. Just harder and harder to weed through the fly by nights or want to be's that make it tough to trust the rest.
Was a kind though to post what you did.
