New developments stopped in mid-hammer swing!
Yup, THAT rings a bell! The house I bought here was "almost finished" with an extensive remodel. When I finally took possession (man did that take forever) I found the "worker bee's" radio, complete with paint stains in a closet. Then I found the 6 ft level in a back room. MANY electrical boxes, covers, screws, etc. in various drawers around the house. Half filled buckets of paint and painting supplies, newly installed cabinets with the handle knobs INSIDE the drawer, not mounted. Various tools, screw driver, wood chisel. ALL the interior doors were still in a storage shed out back, new paint on them. Construction debris all around the outside of the house (mostly clean inside). It was weird, like the construction guys left for lunch and never came back???

I made sure to get it in writing that any CONSTRUCTION LOANS or LIENS would be covered, that was like pulling teeth. I'm slowly finishing the remodel.
