Consort--Can't You Even Get This Much Right?

So, I'm watching the new sod installation across the street. Finally, it seems, Consort agreed to replace the dead sod. Funny thing though (well, not funny--sarcasm), they're only replacing about 50% of the dead grass/useless sod. It looks like they're leaving about half of the front lawn--dead and dry as a bone--there for all to admire. Again, this is their M.O. The minimum, the cheapest, the easiest, the fastest FOR THEM. Not the best for the the homeowner, but for Consort. Do they really think half a dead lawn is an improvement?

*Update* Confirmed by the sod installers that Jeff has directed them NOT to replace the full front of the lawn. I hope to God that Jeff is there on his knees replacing it--as it WON'T COME BACK. Neighbor, I'm willing to help you with the legal issues here--and finding an attorney. This is PATHETIC. Even the sod installers seem perplexed as to why the rest wasn't replaced.

Honestly, Consort--can you EVER do the right thing? What kind of advertisement (Pepe/Petras, isn't this a concern for you?) is this for YOU? You really think it looks good for potential buyers to see that you can't even lay down sod for a new owner--and sod over the entire lawn? So 50% is what you deliver, Consort? Not 100%? Maybe you should put that in your advertising: We promise 50% satisfaction.

We have repairs to be done at home, but the hell they'll be done by Consort. This lawn debacle is just another affirmation of their pledge to cheap and easy. This seems to be the only thing that they do with any steady commitment--crappy and half-way work.

Shame shame. Pitiful.
