I do thank you for your input/help!!
Oh, ya..association is a piece of work. It's not so much they don't think they are liable but they did not do anything to help me get it fixed. I had to do it all or, 7 months later, nothing would still be done. They are having some issues with the cost & now claim they didn't know a final invoice was coming. Yes, they did. One fortunate thing is I hired a big, well-known company to do everything & do think they will do all they can to make sure association pays what they should. Some question on cost of flooring but I am prepared to pay some of that if necessary. However, they don't need to know that at this point! Sorry but I could go on and on!
Thanks again!
