Patio problems

We have had a bit of trouble with our patio. Specifically, we have asked Coral the whole way through the process whether we would be able to attach 2 lights and a fan to our outdoor patio. The whole time they have assured us that it would be fine. Until now........

When we met the electrician on site he said that it would not be possible and we would have to have lights under the eaves and no fan. We were not happy with that so we contacted Coral who obtained a quote for the patio upgrade. The quote was just over $3500 and they wanted us to pay $2500. Not happy Jan!!!!

Anyhoo, I wrote an email to Coral saying (very diplomatically, of course) that this was not on and that we expected them to pay all costs as it was their mistake. J said that I must have lit a firecracker up someones butt (he's such a keeper!), because less than 48 hours later we had a call from Coral saying that they would bear all costs. Yay for us!!! A win for the little guys :)
