A week ago I hired a crew that said they could remove the texture coat from the wood siding on my house, but turned out they were total rip-off artists. It took me days to realize their plan had been to work on it for a day, then claim it was bad wood and force me into a huge, super expensive job of removing and replacing all the siding for the whole house after actually having intentionally ruined it... and who knows what else they'd claim to find once the walls were open. After their first day's work, they told me all the siding needs to be replaced! But they'd actually hacked gouges into a large section of perfectly good wood and made it look impossible to work with. When I said no way... they began hacking at the stucco areas, saying that's bad too and just stood there, 3 big guys all towering over, yelling at me at once, trying to get me to sign a deal with them... while taking more swipes at the siding and stucco, saying my house is falling apart and needs work! Gretchen and Mark were out of town so I was all alone. I held firm and finally got them to leave my property, but then was afraid they'd return at night. That night I had nightmares, so over the next 5 days I d a series of pieces, just drawing without thinking much about it, and all this came out. Wow. My last drawing begins to show a feeling of stregth.
