Entertainment Center is not Entertaining

I thought this topic merited it's own post, so here goes.

We are still struggling with the entertainment center. The painters have mostly finished, but we can't find someone to assemble it and install it for us. The guy who built it, John Watkins who's company name is J & J Construction Services, totally flaked out on us and has refused to return numerous phone calls. He did a fairly good job building it, but since then he has totally let us down. No one wants to finish something someone else started, so that part is problematic. I will say that John Watkins was not one of Bob's people (none of them had the time to build the entertainment center for us). He is the custom cabinet guy referred to us by Lowe's in Winter Garden, Florida, and someone they use for their cabinet installations. I'm not sure I will ever set foot in that Lowe's again and I will take every opportunity to tell people that their guy, John Watkins is a first class jerk for leaving us in a bind. We did not pay him in full, so he is walking away from money and not fulfilling his contract with us. Once again - John Watkins, J & J Construction Services, and he operates out of Winter Park, Florida. We DO NOT recommend this man.

Update: Fortunately, through a series of referrals, we have someone starting on it tomorrow. We have the photo from Watkins of what the assembled product is supposed to look like, so let's hope it is not that difficult to figure out.

Stay tuned!
