We've decided to pack up our stuff and relocate
to Jonesboro, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta). Over the past few
years we've experienced the South Florida area swiftly becoming
repressive for us. My wife has coined the expression, "The
coldest day of my life was an August day in Miami." We do
caution all landscapers doing business with the Miami-Dade Housing
Agency to obtain legal counsel; this will save you countless
headaches and facial ticks. God knows my wife will never let
me live down not taking that advice. After all MDHA blatantly
ignored the payment terms of our contracts since their inception.
Their payments were timely less than 13% of the time. Their
credit rating is extremely low with our service. Today we are
still owed thousands of dollars from November, 2005
I said that I would not cast dispersions but my
wife and I have been left with an extremely bitter taste in our
mouths from doing business with them. We are both thoroughly
aware of the libel laws but we don't have that to fear because we
are being absolutely truthful.
Don't get us wrong; we've made lots of money
there and have lived very well. We've acquired many material
things, etc. But at our age we've finally reached the state of mind
where we realize that the material existence is not the "be all and
end all".
We are basically giving up the "rat race" for
more peace and serenity. We've grown tired of fighting to get paid
after our work is done. We feel like our work/business should
not be our entire life. We are moving to Georgia to "get a
life". We honestly feel that the quality of our life will
improve there.
We've purchased this really great split level
home and have packed up all of our equipment and we're going to do
the same thing there (hopefully with a lot less hassle).
