My Dad Finished Repairing My Boss’s Pool and Was Refused Payment—Then One Look at the Water Told Him Exactly What to Do…

Dad began Monday.

Nine days later, the pool was transformed.

The water was crystal clear. The waterfall ran smoothly, and the spa circulated perfectly.

“It’s beautiful,” I told Dad when I stopped by.

“Yes,” he said.

Then he paused.

“It is.”

Two days later, Melissa Emory refused to pay him.

Richard’s wife claimed the $7,800 invoice was excessive and offered only $3,000.

Dad reminded her that Richard had signed the estimate.

Then she argued that only Richard had signed the original agreement.

Dad calmly produced another document.

Before starting every job, he had both property owners sign a work authorization referencing the original estimate.

Richard had signed it.

So had Melissa.

“She knows exactly what she agreed to,” I told him.

“Yes.”

“Then why is she refusing?”
