Ok, finished the first episode of Risky Business last night and I'm not that impressed. I'm sure they didn't want it to come off this way but I thought the episode kinda made Mina look a little incompetent.
She originally estimated that renovations on the property were going to be $500,000. Almost immediately in the show she finds out they are going to be closer to $600,000. After meeting with her contractors, she finds out that renovations are going to be over $750,000. How can you be so far off with your original estimation?
Later, Mina starts breaking up all of the concrete on the front of the property. She is told that it's not in the scope of work but she insists that it should be and continues on. After back and forth I guess they get it added to the scope for an extra cost.
The glass garage doors have a lead time of 18 weeks on them and Mina is just like "no, no, no". I'm not familiar with construction and design but, if you're on a time table like she is (they need to start renting the back house to pay for the renovations on the main house), don't you make sure you can get all the materials before you start renovations?
Towards the end, the incorrect windows were installed on the rear house. Who is managing this project?
A few other notes. None of her normal crew is there (I'm guessing the project is too big for them) so everything is being contracted out.
If anyone is interested, here is the listing for the property (with many pictures) on airbnb:
https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/685443456300800777?source_impression_id=p3_1662643165_u1znJNcz1U%2FVAz4o
Thanks for the listing. However, I was interested in what's not included. No air conditioning, no security cameras, no little baskets of shampoo, etc. included, it also say no heating? I hope that means the heat is centrally controlled, and so is the air conditioning, and not changeable by visitors.
So, the NBA player's house could be done by the usual crew, but not Mina's private project?

2018 rerun, "Car Loan Crisis" Since they're playing fast and loose with the titles, and switching seasons, I have no clue what this is about. However, Levin and his street Gerbils will be there, the audience will be there, and Doug will be risking his life talking to real live litigants in the hallway.
Case 1-Plaintiff is suing former girlfriend's daughter, he finance a car for her, and he wants his $1950 back, and defendant hasn't paid him a penny. Defendant says plaintiff, and her mom had a bad breakup, and mom now has a restraining order against plaintiff, and the 'loan' was a gift, and this is simply retaliation. Daughter was homeless, so she moved in with plaintiff, her mom, in plaintiff's aunt's house, and defendant is still there three years later. Plaintiff lent daughter money for a very used Cadillac Seville.
After a complaint from the mother about domestic violence, plaintiff got arrested for domestic violence, and mother applied for a restraining order. The aunt says the defendant daughter has been staying at her place for four years, they're in the eviction process, because the daughter refuses to leave. She's never paid rent, but is 'waiting for her income tax refund' to come. Plaintiff is care giver for his 94 year-old aunt, and couldn't even go to pick the aunt up, until he applied for a modification so he could pick up the aunt. I haven't disliked anyone as much as defendant, and her leach of a mother in a long time. Defendant and her harridan mother think it's just fine that they squatted in aunt's house.
As usual, nothing in writing.
Plaintiff gets $1950 from defendant. JM says defendant should get out of plaintiff's aunt's house. Doug tells plaintiff he hopes that the defendants can be evicted.
Case 2- Plaintiff bought unreliable car from snake oil used car salesman, she wants her $2500 back. Defendant says this has been going on for two years, he sells her a car, a few months later she wants to return it, he takes it back, and gives her another car, and plaintiff says all of defendant's cars are death traps.
Plaintiff wants a full refund, and is told to stuff it.
Case 3-Plaintiffs suing landlord, because he was mean to them, and even though they didn't give 30 days notice, they want their $1,000 security deposit back. Defendant landlady says plaintiff wife claims she was being deployed by the military, but refused to show her deployment orders, so defendant says she owed her nothing.
Plaintiffs say apartment was never nice enough, but they didn't complain. Plaintiff claims dropping a fork made a giant hole in the sink (I think at least a couple of inches wide), and sink had to be replaced. There is no way in hell the sink had that huge hole from dropping a fork. Defendant is such a liar.
Unfortunately, inside NYC and outside NYC have different landlord / tenant laws. The best part is plaintiff wife used the military clause to get out of a lease six months before she had to report to Navy basic training, which is not a proper used of the military clause.
So, the law is $1,000 security back to the lying, cheating, plaintiffs.
(Yesterday's Towing Tussle was also another episode title. The one shown yesterday was hilarious, but so was the other episode where a woman proved the towing company violated the law. It's very confusing) .

First (2014)-
Mother & Daughter Gang up on Ex -Plaintiffs Mariah Russom suing defendant/her mother's ex-boyfriend, Jason Kirkland, for loans. Plaintiff and her 40 year old mother Danae Russom (plaintiff witness) were having issues with another sister, so moved in with defendant. Plaintiff didn't pay any rent for the two months they lived there. Plaintiff witness mother, claims she paid rent, but defendant says he paid mother/girlfriend's mortgage one month, and she paid his much lower rent. Plaintiff bought defendant's son a bed, a lawn mower for the house, and says she has receipts for $346. Mariah says the bed cost almost $1,000.
When plaintiff and mother moved in, defendant did not get rid of any furniture. Plaintiff says defendant sent his couches to plaintiff's sister, and plaintiff and mother put their couches in defendant's house. When plaintiff and witness moved out they took their couches, but didn't return the couches defendant loaned to the plaintiff's sister. Defendant has the text on his phone about the furniture, when he asked for his couches back, and witness says she would return them with a police escort, which never happened. After the big argument, plaintiffs moved out, and took all of their furniture with them. Defendant says his son offered to move into the smaller bedroom, so plaintiff could have a bigger room. Defendant says TV in question that plaintiff claims she paid for, was free with her furniture purchase.
The defendant doesn't dispute owing for the lawn mower. Defendant is countersuing for car damages, by plaintiff, and furniture.
Plaintiff also claims defendant stole her grandmother's ring. Plaintiff mother moved in with boyfriend, before divorcing her previous husband.
Plaintiff wants $386. Defendant keeps the son's bedroom furniture, and loses the older couches. Defendant says plaintiff ran truck into a pole, and she's a liar. Plaintiff tries to submit some list of alias’ of defendant. Mother/witness moved out in September, but Mariah lived there for two weeks without her mother, into October. Estimate to fix defendant's truck is $1880.
Ruling is $346 for lawn mower, but defendant gets $1880, so $1534 to defendant.
Second (2014)-
Punch Drunk Love -Plaintiff Hollie Dowdle suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Zachary Storrs for an assault, and return of belongings. Plaintiff moved into defendant's apartment, and she wanted him to leave the apartment (it was a loft/apartment above defendant's grandmother's garage).
On the night in question, woman was watching TV while defendant was trying to sleep. Then, the plaintiff's phone rang, so defendant answered it, and instead of her female cousin, it was some guy. Plaintiff claimed defendant was wrong, and defendant says this was the third time she was cheating. Then defendant says plaintiff called her grandmother, and took everything with her.
Defendant claims plaintiff took everything but a shirt, and a pair of jeans when she left his apartment. Plaintiff claims defendant assaulted her, and she was bruised and bleeding, when she left the apartment. Plaintiff claims defendant kicked her in the nose during the fight. Plaintiff claims fight happened at 2:30 a.m., and grandmother came to pick her up at 10:30 a.m.
Plaintiff's mother wasn't involved in any of this, but did come on Officer Byrd's dime to come for a free trip to L.A. The mother keeps trying to butt into the case.
Plaintiff applied for a protective order, and received one. A Domestic Violence protective order, and both litigants testified at the trial. The plaintiff doesn’t have the application for the protective order, or a police report.
Plaintiff claim dismissed.
Pyramid Scheme – Plaintiffs Jeanette and Michael Kelly suing defendants, David Kennedy and his mother, Deborah Kennedy for ripping them off on a pyramid scheme. Typical pyramid scheme, where plaintiff earns money by bringing in other suckers, which is often MLM-Multi-level Marketing.
Plaintiffs bought into the defendants’ scheme for $135, plus $80 for signs. Then, plaintiffs had to bring people into the business, and the people they recruited would bring others in, and they were foolish. Defendant son calls the company a network marketing system, but he owns no businesses, and I know an MLM and pyramid scheme when I hear about one.
Defendant says plaintiff purchased a Bluehost domain name, not from him.
As JJ says, the defendants’ business is an illegal pyramid scheme, and then Officer Byrd remarks that it’s the American way.
JJ will not help the plaintiffs, they were fools. They're lucky, it only cost them $135 to find out it was a scheme.
Case dismissed. In the hall-terview plaintiff woman says she’s lost money in every MLM scheme she’s been involved in. How stupid can you get? The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over, and getting the same outcome. The picture in the dictionary next to "stupidity" is of the plaintiffs.

First (2017)-
Eyewitness to Hit and Run!- Plaintiffs owner Troy Daniels had a hit-and-run on his vehicle, and is suing his neighbor/owner Jessica Luckett, as she is the owner of the attacking car. The witness, Nick Shallman, saw the hit and run happen in the early morning hours, after midnight, Witness says car came out of the darkness, hit a parked car, on the street in front of their buddy's house. Attacked car was shoved across the street, up on the curb, and there were a lot of damages. It was plaintiff's car, and witness looked until they found the owner of the car.
They were looking at the attacked car, and the hit and run driver drove by, but didn't stop, and hit the gas and kept going. Defendant Jessica Luckett says her brother-in-law was driving, told the police her car was hit when it was parked. Defendant's brother, Jonathan Luckett, (in court) claims he was the car passenger (no, he wasn't, brother was driving, he is a bad liar, and so is the defendant car owner).
Defendant's brother, Jonathan Luckett, stands and lies in court to JJ. Witness can't look at JJ, keeps shifting around, and looks like he's about to cry (I would like to slap him until he cries, and the defendant too, they're both liars). Brother says he was taking car to defendant's house, or his own house, he's really not sure. Lying witness claims he was the passenger, and brother-in-law was driving, and a car was in the middle of the street, and it was the plaintiff's parked car in the middle of the street, and claims plaintiff backed into defendant's car.
Defendant car owner called her insurance first, and the police after that, quite a while after the accident. BIL has a driver's license, but I'm guessing he wasn't on the car insurance policy. Plaintiff submits his copy of the police report, and lying defendant doesn't have one, even though she claims she made a report with the police. Plaintiff's police report says defendant told them her car was parked in a parking lot, and was hit there, while car was parked. Report also says car was in custody of family friend, omits the brother, and brother-in-law.
2001 Buick Le Sabre was only a year old with plaintiff.
$1200 to plaintiff for his totaled car.
Botched Bridesmaid Dresses?!-Plaintiff Keitheisha Brooks suing seamstress Jeanne James for return of money she paid seamstress to make the 10 bridesmaids dresses, for $500 down, and $500 left. Plaintiff also suing seamstress for ruining her wedding. Plaintiff paid $500 bridesmaid deposit, flower girls dress, and vests for the young men, for $180 more. Boy's vests, and flower girls dress were used in the wedding, and were paid for. All ten bridesmaids wore the dresses at the wedding. Defendant is counter claiming for money owed. Plaintiff wants $3200.
Plaintiff claims every bridesmaid dress needed help to make it down the aisle safely. However, all of the dresses were completed, except another reception dress that wasn't completed. There were two or three fittings for each of the bridesmaids' dresses. $500 was all that plaintiff paid for the bridesmaids' dresses, and at $50 each for a fitted dress, it was a bargain. Plaintiff paid $500 for bridesmaid’s dresses, and owed $500 more, but never paid the second $500.
Defendant says in the hall-terview that she will never do an entire wedding party's various garments again.
Plaintiff case dismissed.
Second (2017)-
Dog Smashes Into Car?-Plaintiff Yolanda Boatwright suing dog owner Christian Sementelli for damages to her car from defendant's dog running into the car. Plaintiff was driving straight when defendant's dog ran out of a parking lot across the street, and ran into her car. Defendant says dog wasn't out of his control.
Defendant drove into the parking lot of a store, with the dog, and his girlfriend, dog got loose, and ran to the grass median in the parking row. Then dog ran towards the road, into the path of the plaintiff, who was going straight on the highway, on the far lane from defendant, and something hit her car. It was the dog that hit the car, dog had no leash or anything else. Then defendant ran across from the parking lot, and then plaintiff saw the damage to her car. Plaintiff's husband was in the car also, and is the witness.
Plaintiffs told the defendant to go to the vet, but they would have to talk about car damage after the vet visit. Defendant claims the plaintiffs were turning left from the road, into the parking lot, and ran over his dog. However, plaintiffs were going straight on the far side of the road.
Photos of the car are submitted by plaintiff. Dog hit on the left side of the car, between the driver’s door, and wheel well. Defendant is a jerk, and is trying to blame all kinds of medical issues with the dog on the plaintiff. Defendant is also claiming previous damage on the passenger side of the car was somehow blamed on the dog.
$998 to plaintiff for car damages.
Domestic Violence and the Paint Job!?-Plaintiff Robert Fitzgerald suing former friend, Derek Radburn for unpaid wages for painting. Defendant claims plaintiff is just ungrateful. Plaintiff was earning $100 a day, cash, working a day at a time for the defendant. Plaintiff was charged with domestic violence against former fiance, and ended up in jail. Defendant says plaintiff's girlfriend hit plaintiff, and that plaintiff should take photos, and press charges.
Defendant put up bail, $1500 so plaintiff could get out of jail. Plaintiff's fiance dropped charges, and defendant received his $1500 back (it took a long time for the bail refund). Plaintiff's fiance keeps trying to chime in, and I'm hoping she gets booted.
Then plaintiff claims he worked 10 days for defendant, and is owed $1,000. However, defendant claims plaintiff only worked one day for him, so only is owed $100. There is no proof that plaintiff worked the 10 days, and all would have been 'off the books' and 'under the table'.
Plaintiff receives $100

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that she was working as a nurse. I looked back in this thread and I posted about it in January with a link to a Daily Mail article. It said she was working as a nurse in North Carolina and had bought a house there for $750,000. Of course, take that all with a grain of salt, but it could be true.
Yes, and Jon claims she took $100k from Colin and Hannah's trust funds for payment for the house. That was $50k from each fund, and she claims she's going to pay it back.
She doesn't seem like anyone you would want in charge of your care if you were sick.

Iowa. Jill, the realtor, is quite stylish, love her color palette. The husband seems to recognize his rigidity. My goodness #2 is huge! I don't understand people who insist their yards be fenced for the dog(s). We have a dog and the yard is open. He stays with us. Maybe people are just lazy. I'm happy with their choice.
You have to worry about other animals coming on your property after your dog also. And you want to keep others off your property also, especially with kids. However, some HOAs don't allow fences at all, so either taking the dog out on a leash, or invisible fence are the only answers for people who want to let the dog out without going with the dog. I've had a lot of dogs, and not one would have stuck with me consistently if I wasn't out with them. Not that a privacy fence or 6' chain fence would stop a coyote anyway.
I'm always amused by the realtors' estimates of commute or travel time to beaches, or work, and their ridiculous estimates for a remodel.
I corrected the the Galveston episode, I was watching and doing other things at the same time. (If you are drinking lemonade while watching TV, and you're sitting on your bed, you have to do a lot of laundry quickly. So I wasn't watching the episode that closely, fortunately, Spectrum decided to put HH on permanent new episode record). He is a single amputee. I still wonder what they'll have to do to fix the access for the boat dock, and other deck areas.
I live 90 miles from the Florida panhandle coast, and know too many people who don't take hurricane warnings seriously enough, and end up panicking, and evacuating to a nightmare scenario of too many cars, too few roads, and monumental backups.

Dreaming Big in Texas, moving for a waterfront home in Galveston Texas. He's an amputee and often uses a wheelchair. I hope they're sensible and if a hurricane warning is possible, they get across to the main part of Texas before the bridge clogs up, and the roads are packed.
First house is on the water, but has a lot of stairs on the various decks. It has an elevator, and I hope a backup generator.
Second house has no water view, but's it's a single story.
Third house is 30 minutes north of Galveston. 3700 sq ft, 4 bed 3.5 bath, pool and hot tub, on stilts. It has an elevator. Beautiful kitchen. All floors are hardwood floors or tile. there's a separate primary bedroom, a huge library. $1.175 million.
They buy #1 , I would have bought #3, or another house on the shore, not Galveston with it's limited access in an emergency. I bet they'll spend a lot fixing the first house.

New, "English Charm" restoring a 1790s Bryce-Morris farmhouse, in Wenham, Mass., Ed (he's British originally from the Cotswalds), and Carolyn. They have several doors from the outside to nowhere. The kitchen looks like 1970's builder's grade. The kitchen really needs everything, the main suite needs a bathroom, it's so smart to use the boards from the floor in the attic to replace the newer kitchen floor. Moving the herb garden is such a nice surprise for the homeowners, and it will be so much easier to maintain. I love Jon and Kristina are visiting the 1790's house, turned restaurant.
I like the antique cabinet for the mud room. I like that they're using the cut nails in the floorboards they patched with. I love the pocket shutters, and the man from Houses with History explaining the shutters inside the house were to block the light, and the wind. I like the authentic antique beams for the kitchen. I'm not usually a fan of wallpaper, but the hall between the bedroom and bath with the bird wallpaper looks so nice, and matches the color on the light too.
The new door on the breezeway/front entrance is spectacular. I love the new Mud Room. The kitchen is so big, and spectacular. They added to the kitchen by getting rid of an unused chimney, and an unused staircase. I like the kitchen island, and the new dining room. The main bedroom is lovely. The ensuite is beautiful, and not crowded at all even with the 6 ft. tub, and big shower. The new herb garden, sitting area is so nice. The closet is fantastic.
I'm so glad that the show went back to the original premise, of redoing farmhouses, and not turning them into modern West Coast trendy.

What is the title to the episode where they show the warehouse inside? I must FF too much because I missed it
(It's called Two Chicks Forever Home. Oddly enough it's episode 3 of Season 7, they're showing them all out of order.)

Does he take the shutters off of every place he works? Not being from New England, the shutters always seem like one of the key characteristics of farmhouse architecture and you can see them on every other house in the neighborhood.
I'm sure they are a pain to paint.....
You can get vinyl ones, that will last for years, never need painting, and on an upper story, no one can tell they're anything but genuine wood. However, unless they're closable shutters with shutter dogs, then they won't look right anyway. Decorative ones probably weren't even on the houses originally.

First (2014)-
Dying Cat’s Rescue -Plaintiff Tammy Poling (soon to be divorced from defendant’s husband’s brother) suing defendant Cindy Lantz for repayment of the $1736 loan for cat surgery. Sisters-in-law are fighting over adultery, a dying cat, and the cost of emergency surgery. Plaintiff gave or loaned defendant $1100, for the dying cat’s surgery. Defendant paid for the cat's surgery, partly for the adult son's benefit, since he loved the cat and he couldn't get money because he was baby sitting his grandmother. Also, defendant’s adult son was babysitting with the infirm grandmother, but he left her for a while anyway.
Then, defendant husband told plaintiff’s husband (Dallas, husband of Tammy) that plaintiff wife was cheating on him (plaintiff husband, and defendant husband are brothers, I think, but maybe that’s wrong).
Cat had a urinary blockage, and cat had to have surgery or it would die. So, defendant wife called plaintiff for money, and plaintiff used credit card for the surgery, follow up vet bills, and a few other fees, so a total of $1736.
After defendant husband ratted out plaintiff wife to her husband about the affair, then plaintiff wanted her money repaid. Defendant husband refused to cover for plaintiff sister-in-law's affairs, with a co-worker and someone else also.
Defendant husband says plaintiff wife wanted him to cover for her affair with a co-worker, and friend of defendant’s husband. It was only after the repayment of the money came up that the affair was disclosed to plaintiff’s husband, by defendant’s husband.
Plaintiff claims she was going to give the defendants time to get the money together, and plaintiff paid off the credit bills in full every month. However, defendant only paid $200 on the cat’s bill at the vet’s and nothing to plaintiff.
JJ doesn’t think it was a loan, but a nice gesture from plaintiff to her nephew. However, defendant wife said she would pay back the plaintiff. JJ doesn’t think there was a contract with defendant at the vet office.
Plaintiff case dismissed.
Crashes and Lies -Plaintiff/sister Kaneshia Davis suing defendant/sister Shemeka Davis over totaling her car. A Halloween night car crash leaves the litigant sisters fighting. Plaintiff used defendant’s car a few times, and defendant is counter claiming for plaintiff leaving the car messy.
Defendant blames the accident on the heavy rain that day, and evening, but yet she took her two kids (ages 4 and 8) out in the bad weather. What the hell kind of cheap, ugly two toned wig is on defendant’s head?
Defendant claims sister wanted her money after plaintiff’s replacement car was repo’d. There is no police report about fault in defendant’s accident. As usual accident was a mysterious truck on defendant’s side of the road, and they drove away.
$1500 to plaintiff. Everyone hugs in the hall.
Second (2014)-
Don’t Fence Me In! -Plaintiffs Jeffrey Irwin and Ron Berry are suing defendant Debbie Toga for non-payment for putting a fence up once, and having to move it again. The first fence was put in where defendant told them to put it, and that was on a neighbor's property, and plaintiff paid for the first fence. Plaintiff claims defendants ripped up the check and broke her door. First bid was $1502. 40 foot Redwood fence (42 feet). Defendant paid $1450.
Plaintiff says they put fence up once, and it was on neighbor's property, which isn't defendant's property. After a day's work on the fence, plaintiff says they put up fence, and defendant wanted them to put fence on the high-class hotel next door, destroying the landscaping and other items, on the hotel's property. Then defendant told the plaintiffs to move the fence, and erect it on her property. Plaintiffs had to work twice as long, and use a lot more supplies.
Defendant claims she had permission from the hotel to put the fence on neighboring hotel's property, and destroying the hotel's property. (I hope the hotel sued defendant for fixing their property, and the landscaping she destroyed.)
Plaintiffs receive $2700 for the double fence installation.
Premeditated Theft? -Plaintiff Ann Klugherz suing defendant Alan Jones for breaking items while moving them, and stealing from her home. Plaintiff hired son's friend, defendant ALan Jones, to move items out of her property that she was selling. House sold and plaintiff told defendant's brother, that defendant could have a futon, recliner, and TV stand from her basement.
Defendant says his brother told him that he could take anything out of the house basement he needed. Brother of defendant is plaintiff's witness. Plaintiff moved out, and was selling the couch, and brother told defendant he could have anything in the basement.
If your late grandmother's china is so precious to you, why would you leave it behind in the basement after you sell the house, and move out? Plaintiff is totally hysterical, claiming defendant deliberately smashed her late grandmother's china, and it can't be replaced.
Basement had futon, TV and stand, and recliner, and couch was sold to someone else. Plaintiff is suing defendant for taking the couch, but he returned it. Plaintiff says defendant took a VCR, and vacuum from the basement, and microwave. Defendant returned the microwave also. Plaintiff is suing for house damages, what a bunch of ca-ca.
Plaintiff's son gave code to get into house to defendant. Son testifies that defendant told him that he had permission to take futon, but that's a lie.
Everything dismissed.

All Sales are Final! -Plaintiff / furniture buyer Rocco Morelli is suing consignment shop owner Susan Thomas for the money he paid for furniture he never received. Plaintiff was furnishing a house, and he bought furniture from defendant, for $8,215 total, and plaintiff has a receipt. Receipt says all sales are final (the receipt is the contract). The plaintiff changed his mind about a sectional sofa, and a king-sized bed, and wanted a refund, defendant said no, so he cancelled. Plaintiff disputed with the credit card company, they ruled in favor of the plaintiff, then defendant disputed it, and money was eventually returned to defendant by credit card company.
Plaintiff sent a mover to pick up the furniture after the final credit card ruling. Defendant says plaintiff never picked up furniture after numerous attempts to contact him. Plaintiff witness claims the mover (his witness), was told furniture was already sold. Witness was sent to pick up 14 pieces of furniture, but claims 5 were already sold, so mover picked up nothing. Then, American Express reopened the case, and ruled in defendant's favor again. (I hate the plaintiff). Defendant admits she did sell some of the furniture (including a silver giraffe) was sold, after waiting until March for plaintiff to pick up furniture.
$5,000 to plaintiff. Defendant has no receipts for the furniture she resold. Defendant also claims plaintiff made 'advancements' on her.
One-of-a-kind Hardwood Table Feud! -Plaintiff Ashley Tobosa is suing artist John Breslinfor the return of deposit for a custom-made dining table. This is the defendant's only source of income, making custom furniture pieces with live edge, and he's been in business for six years. However, defendant didn't bring photos of the final product, and there is no written contract specifying completion date either.
Deposit was $1500 down, which was paid, and $1500 more on delivery. They agreed that 22 October was the finish date, and table wasn't finished, and plaintiff wanted the deposit back. Defendant refused to refund deposit.
As JJ says, there wasn't a final date of completion for the table. The pictures don't show the completed work the defendant claims. There isn't enough progress shown to prove that the table was actually progressing, or being worked on.
Plaintiff receives $1500 back.
Second (2017)-

2018 Rerun "Towing Tussle"
Case 1-Plaintiff Larry suing defendant over illegally towing his car with handicapped plates. Larry the plaintiff is suing for $272, from tow company, suing Ivan Cortez, tow company, Done Deal Towing Company, says plaintiff parked in a steakhouse parking lot that is well marked with private parking, and tow away signs, 3 signs to be exact. This was on Black Friday, and steakhouse is a big combined parking lot for several businesses. Plaintiff wanted to buy an umbrella from J.C. Penney, but parked next door to the shopping center, in a closed steakhouse parking lot. It wasn't just a closed steakhouse parking lot too, but two other restaurants share the huge lot, with Olive Garden, Joe's Crab Shack, and a Longhorn Steakhouse (it's closed).
Parking lot manager called in plaintiff, when plaintiff parked and went to JC Penney on Black Friday.
Plaintiff wants his money back on the tow, and everything else. Plaintiff paid the defendants to bring his car back, and doesn't think he should pay for that either. Larry says the tow is a scam. Defendant has their request for towing from the property manager, the picture of the three part parking lot with the signs, their contract with the business.
I love the defendants, totally prepared, professional, and I think we've seen them before on this show, and maybe Judge Judy too.
Plaintiff loses and gets nothing. Doug basically calls Larry an idiot.
Case 2-Plaintiff Steven Bisnos suing defendant /former employer for unpaid wages, and an unpaid loan. Defendant (not a snowball's chance in hell I can get this man's name right, so I'm not even trying). (Defendant addresses JM as 'Your Worship'). Plaintiff claims he loaned defendant $1500. Defendant claims plaintiff stole his van, and wrecked it.
I could do without Levin and his sidewalk commenters.
Then, defendant says he has a picture of someone vandalizing his truck, JM tells him to talk to the police about it.
Defendant pays plaintiff $700, and that's it
Case 3-Plaintiff's father hired defendant Ron to repaint and coat the deck, and deck is peeling, plaintiff wants $2995. Deck was coated/painted three years ago. DeckOver by Home Depot is supposed to protect the deck, and is supposed to last 10 years, if applied properly. DeckOver prep is very specific and sounds like a pain in the fanny.
Years ago, when this first ran, speculation by posters wonder if plaintiff had the deck pressure washed. Plaintiff has the email when he complained about the deck pealing, 10 months after application, and email was sent to defendant.
Plaintiff gets a full refund, $2995.

I saw an OWN rerun Dateline : Secrets Uncovered "Before Dawn" about the disturbing case of Seth Techel, who murdered his pregnant wife. He was finally convicted after three trials (two had hung juries). Lisa Caldwell (Techel), had been married only seven months when the murder happened. The couple had a roommate until they were turning that bedroom into a nursery, and the roommate's shotgun was the one that was used.
The husband tried to blame the neighbor, but Seth was the one who had the run ins with the neighbor, so he claimed that man was the prime suspect. However, would that neighbor have killed the wife, and left the husband showering, and helpless? I don't think so.
Why did this couple ever marry? They were both cheating, she didn't even know if husband, or lover was the baby's father. Also the couple were both early 20's when they married, he was having an emotional affair with some woman, and it turned out wife was having an affair for months before she married, and after, with a co-worker.
Co-worker was a father of four, but not father of Lisa's baby. Three years later his wife testified where husband was at the time of the murder, which I find ludicrous. There is no way she would remember the husband's alibi that long later, she was just protecting her life with the husband.
The big clincher for me was the shotgun was the former roommate's, and was supposedly left behind in the move out, since roommate had an injured shoulder, and couldn't even try to fire a shotgun. Also, right before the murder, the husband told his girlfriend he was asking for a divorce, and then wife is killed. Husband also told another man he wished his wife would have a fatal car accident. I wonder if there was any life insurance on her?
The police work was so sloppy, they never even finger printed the shotgun shell to see who's prints were on the shells, Shotgun formerly belonging to roommate was found outside the house too, in a field near the trailer. The incompetence of the prosecution and defense research about the couple was horrible, and the forensics work by the police was appallingly awful. The third trial was the first time the wife's affair partner was discovered.
Dateline Secrets Uncovered Prussian Blue Mystery---Brigita McInvale's husband Race Uto tried to kill her with Thallium, and it's horrifying. Brigita was very close to death, until a toxicology specialist figured out what was killing her. Another one who tells the mistress his wife is dead, I guess he studied at the Scott Peterson school of avoiding divorce.

That "article" says Tad is Karen's son.🥴
I agree with all of this. I thought maybe they'd put in an elevator. Nope. I said out loud, "Where are people going to work?"
And two bathrooms for the whole place.
Tad is actually Mina's half brother through her father, but when his mother Cheryl (not sure of the spelling) died, Tad went to live with Karen, and he calls her Mom now. Tad's mom married Mina's dad twice, and then she married Lenny, the contractor from the first season, so that was Tad's stepfather.
Why do I bet Mina has her own bathroom and shower in her office? Those co-working spaces were huge, I hated the wall murals, and they don't even have enough staff to fill the kitchen/living room/dining spaces.
I turned on House Hunters too soon, and saw the last few minutes of the Mansion makeover. Do they really think that showing they can't order windows, or balconys, or french doors without screwing it up is going to impress people? I wouldn't put french doors, and juliet balconies on the second floor of an event space, I can image drunk guests launching out the windows, over the balconies.
They already own a bunch of Airbnbs, and have built what are obviously short term rentals for clients (the Italian villa one with the coffee mural, and anything with only a few bar stools, and no dining room make me think they're short term rentals). Also, renting during Indy month can pay thousands for that one month alone.
I bet wedding venues will only need catering, and very few staff, so food and equipment gets dropped off, and staff probably either Uber, or get vans, so they just drop off and the vehicle leaves.
I bet many guests will get an Uber, or party buses, Unfortunately for the neighbors, short term rentals are not limited in any way in Indiana, and the state has laws that stop cities from banning short term rentals. Some states the owner has to register the rental, but not all.

I don't follow those shows. Did those women have babies in between their series of weight loss surgeries?
I have an acquaintance who has been through 2 weight loss surgeries. The first one he got a bad infection and ended up gaining back the weight. He had a second surgery and gained back some of the weight. He likes fast food and buys 2 or 3 burgers at once. He says he eats them throughout the day, not all at once. Maybe he believes that there are less calories if he eats 3 cheeseburgers over 12 hours 😂
No, Erica didn't have kids.
However, I think Amy would regain the weight even without her 'eating for two' pregnancies. I think about 80% or more gain back a lot of the weight within five years.
Also, the Erica gastric bypass was a last ditch effort by Dr. Now to help her, but I think she was regaining after that when she went back to her home town.

On the Huntsville house hunters I would have chosen #1. It needed minimal updates to make the house up to the husband's standards, with new counter tops, or just the island counter change to quartz, and do the rest of the counter tops later.
I thought #2 was too far from downtown, and from the military base, if that's where they're working, and too expensive, and husband still wanted to change things.
#3, the one they chose, was so expensive to redo everything, and will still never be exactly what they want. #1 was cheap enough to even do an addition if they wanted to. I can't believe they went so far over list for #3.

I wonder which format they'll have for the new season.
From their FB page for TPC, they're keeping the remote format. They save a bundle on transportation, hotels, meals, etc., and they don't have to use staff time to arrange everything.
It's much safer for Doug not to be near the litigants in the hallway. Douglas doesn't have to worry about attacks from enraged audience members either.
The afternoon, new case slot is filled with 2018 cases, this week and next, I'm not sure when the new cases start either, someone said October.

2018 Rerun-"You Borrowed My Car Without Permission! (This episode was wonderfully dissected on page 103 by SRTouch)
This is 2018 all right, Levin and his pack of gerbils are talking, Doug is talking to litigants in person, and JM has different glasses and an audience.
Case 1-Plaintiff hired defendant as unpaid intern, (she's a realtor for a non-profit finding housing for single mothers) she loaned him a car, he parked in front of his house, and racked up a bunch of tickets. Romeo, the defendant claims he got tickets while working for plaintiff, she said she would pay the tickets, and he's countersuing for $5,000. Plaintiff wants $2553 for the tickets, a laptop, and EZ pass tolls.
Then Romeo gets arrested for domestic violence, she went to pick up things for him and saw a stack of tickets on her vehicle. He also had an accident driving her car while he was under the influence, and she let him keep driving her car.
Levin chimes in totally missing the entire facts of the case, saying Romeo drove the cars without plaintiff knowing about it. Totally wrong as usual Levin.
Romeo says the tickets were something plaintiff knew about.
Then, one day they couldn't find Romeo, and plaintiff tracked his phone, and found out her car was at a Super 8 in Connecticut, and stayed there for a week, instead of parking the car at plaintiff's mother's house in the Bronx. He also used to have a meth problem too.
Sorry, plaintiff and defendant shouldn't get a penny. Plaintiff gets $2553, Romeo gets $0.
Case 2-Plaintiff added defendant to her phone plan, and got screwed over. Of course it was an iPhone, and plaintiff either had to pay the hefty termination fee, or pay for the phone, Plaintiff wants $1368. As always, the defendant says phone was a gift.
I wonder how much defendant's mother had to pay when defendant got the iPhone, and on plaintiff's plan, from the mother's plan?
Plaintiff gets $808 for the phone costs.
Case 3-Plaintiff (little old lady) suing former landlord for rental apartment. Defendant says little old lady was the tenant from hell, Plaintiff doesn't was security after all, she claims this is all elder abuse, and she should get $5,000. She didn't get evicted, landlord refused to renew her lease, says she was a pot smoking, nasty tenant. ALso, litigants look about the same age, so much for elder abuse as a point of litigation.
Plaintiff had a HUD voucher (Section 8), in Fort Lauderdale, and defendant says he had constant noise complaints about plaintiff, pot smoke, duct taped the window screens, and all kinds of damages. All of the pictures plaintiff had are gone.
Plaintiff claims she rented sight unseen, the place was a dirty dump when she moved in, but didn't take photos, and signed everything was fine on the apartment inventory sheet when she moved in.
Neither litigant can decide what the security was, how much defendant kept out of security, or anything else.
JM decides plaintiff gets $1200 back on the security deposit, which is a total crock in my opinion.

First (2014)-
Scooter Squabble -Plaintiff Kenny Boggs suing defendants Jody and Keith Gillespie for a scooter damaged by their daughter Abigail. Plaintiff takes his son, Killan, to the bus stop every morning on his electric scooter every morning to meet the bus, and waits for the bus to arrive. Plaintiff says Abigail wanted to ride the scooter, and only if she brought a note giving permission from her parents, and a helmet.
Before she brought a note, she was sitting on the scooter, but the key was in it, and it was running. Abigail gripped the handle bars, and it started to fall over, so she grabbed the throttle and the scooter surged forward. The scooter was on the kick stand, when Abigail got on the scooter, and it fell over and was scratched. As JJ says, plaintiff left the key in the scooter. So, Abigail could have been injured or killed, and her parents would have owned everything plaintiff had. Plaintiff was careless.
Plaintiff case dismissed.
Spit in the Face -Plaintiff / brother Athan Anagonye suing defendant /sister Christina Anagonye who broke his TV, and tried to have him arrested when they were living in the same house on separate floors.
Plaintiff says sister came to his basement apartment to see her brand new washer and dryer delivered to the basement that day. Sister wanted to do laundry in the basement in the middle of the night, so brother turned the washer and dryer off. Then defendant spit in plaintiff's face, and she smacked his TV and broke it. So, plaintiff took defendant's TV until she replaced his TV. Then defendant called the police, lied about the assault, and police didn't believe sister.
After police left, defendant took her TV back, and that's when the plaintiff decided to move out. Defendant is counter suing for rent, bills, and dryer damage. Defendant claims she loaned $700 to plaintiff, and claims she has a text verifying that. There is no due amount on the text that JJ can find.
Plaintiff receives $250 for TV. Defendant gets zero.
Second (2014)-
Homeless and Happy -Plaintiff Barbara Borsodi 41 year-old plaintiff is knocked up by 20-year old defendant Harley Howell, and is suing defendant for half the cost of a washer and dryer, unpaid bills, and a broken lease. Plaintiff claims she still has the washer / dryer, but defendant claims she returned the washer / dryer. They met while homeless, slept rough, couch surfed. Plaintiff says they were waiting for her to inherit her late father’s house, his 401k, and other money. Plaintiff claims to have congestive heart failure, two back surgeries, a shoulder injury, and is on disability. The other three of plaintiff’s children are the same age or older than defendant.
Plaintiff claims it was true love, they were going to be together forever. She claims he came to her, said he would be her man, and they would be together forever. Plaintiff claims defendant used her.
The crocodile tears from plaintiff are despicable. They were 40 and 19 when they first hooked up, and moved in together.
Defendant is now working as a deli clerk. Plaintiff also says defendant will never get to see their child. What a B-word.
As JJ says, 10 million saw her acknowledge paternity to defendant.
Plaintiff case dismissed.
Insurance Scam or Practical Joke? -Plaintiff Kevin Williams Jr suing defendants Rufus and Michelle Dixon for the remainder of his car note, on a car defendant wife wrecked. JJ knows it’s all an insurance scam, and a scam on the court.
Plaintiff got out of his car to mail something, and two or three people jumped in his car, and sped off. He left the car door open, and the keys in the car. Then plaintiff called the police, and then the defendants, so wife came to pick him up. They returned to defendants’ home. There is a police report about the ‘carjacking’, but that only tells what plaintiff told the police. Then, the fairy tale continues. Plaintiff was driving wife’s car that was loaned to him, Rufus was following in his car, and wife was driving her car. The next day wife sent a text to plaintiff about missing car. A week later police called and the plaintiff’s car was found wrecked. Then defendant Rufus Dixon told plaintiff that the ‘carjacking’ was a prank, and he wrecked the plaintiff’s car. However, plaintiff didn’t tell police or his insurance company about the ‘prank’, and who the real carjacker was.
Defendant Rufus says they invited plaintiff to go to church and then BBQ with them. Then, plaintiff went to get a propane grill from his uncle.
JJ dismisses everything, because it’s a scam.

First (2017)-
Custody Battle Chaos-Plaintiff Kristine Kraft SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Two) suing the father/defendant of her child, Christopher Kittel, over the return of her belongings. Defendant claims they lived together for 3 1/2 years, but according to plaintiff she didn't live with him. There has been an ongoing custody battle for over two years, and both have huge stacks of papers, and folders in front of them. Plaintiff SSMOT hates that the defendant received 50/50 custody, and she sued for 18 months just over that part of the custody dispute.
Son was two when the litigants separated. Plaintiff claims she never lived with plaintiff, she always lived with her mother, and only left some property, TV, etc. at the defendant's house. Defendant drove her to the hospital for the birth, drove her home from the hospital, with nursery for the son. Plaintiff claims the crib, etc. was never at defendant's house. Some of the custody testimony was from police officers who were called to a dispute at defendant's house, and he testified on the defendant's side. Plaintiff's Order of Protection was dismissed by court, at the custody hearing. Each has a child for a week at a time. The SSMOT's older child lived at the defendant's house too.
JJ warns plaintiff that parental interference can lead to loss of the 50/50 custody by plaintiff. JJ also reads the court decision. Defendant supported plaintiff, and the two children the entire time they lived together. Property is left at defendant's home for when the child is at his house. (My guess is that this custody dispute will never end).
Plaintiff's case dismissed. Defendant says plaintiff did $2,000 worth of damages at his house in retaliation over not giving up custody.
Landscaping Grief-Plaintiff Sreelesh Kozhiparambil is suing landscaper / defendant Kevin Gervasio for failing to complete a job, damaged and stolen property, lock changing fees. Plaintiff and wife had to leave the U.S. because of a death in their family in India. Landscaper was supposed to plant some greenery, maintain the front and back yard, seed the lawn, for a total of $3200. Then defendant wanted more money, claiming the seeding wasn't working, and he needed to sod the outside edge of the yard, and hydro seed the interior part of the yard, and received $4,000 from plaintiff.
The front yard picture is awful, and looks like no seed was ever put down, or sod. Defendant also moved the plaintiff's car, and took it home to gain access to the garage. The keys were left so he could move it in the driveway, not steal it. Defendant admits he didn't hydro seed, never put in a full sprinkler system, that plaintiff had bought the parts for. In the hall-terview plaintiff says the police got the car, and the wife's phone back from defendant. Plaintiff paid $3200 to defendant, and $4,000 later, totaling $7200.
$4,000 to plaintiff. Plaintiff got the car back already, so that's dismissed. The defendant also smoked in the car, and that won't be coming out easily, or probably will ever be gone completely.
Second (2017)-
Caught Cheating?!-Plaintiff Tiffani Lefoon, SSMOO (Sainted Single Mother of One) registered nurse, suing former boyfriend, Brandon Maddox, father of her child for cost of a truck, property damage, and unauthorized debit card charges. Plaintiff claims the police had to retrieve her house key, but defendant kicked in her front door. When defendant's (professional musician) old car broke down he needed $2,000 for a truck, because he was sending money home to support his two other sons, 9 and 5. Defendant claims the $2,000 for the truck was a gift, and he still has the truck. They broke up right after he got the truck, and while plaintiff was 3 or 4 months pregnant.
There is no child support paid for plaintiff's child. Plaintiff claims defendant is her last musician boyfriend, ever.
Defendant never paid for the truck. After plaintiff caught defendant cheating at the motel, the police had to get her key back. Plaintiff went to work after catching loser cheating, and came home and door was kicked in, and TV was broken, two interior doors were broken also, and the front door. At that time the only missing items were the clothes and shoes belonging to the defendant. Defendant claims plaintiff was home when he came for his clothes, and shoes.
There is a video filmed after that of defendant looking for his birth certificate, a month after moving out. Defendant came in through the window. Plaintiff's video shows the window being broken (it has a metal grid over it, with chains), and she says she didn't have his birth certificate, and other I.D.s.
$2,000 for plaintiff for damages.
No Drinking, No Partying, No Random Boyfriends?!-Plaintiff Suzanne Hudak, suing defendant Sommer Lund, former room renter in her home for damages, not covered by security deposit. Plaintiff moved in September, $350 a month, with two cats. A friend moved into another room with one more cat at the same time. Signed lease says no drinking excessively, no random boys, no partying, but that is written in later, on the written lease. There are no initials from tenants about the added restrictions.
Plaintiff disliked the drinking and partying, but that's written in later, so not binding. Boozing it up, random boys, smoking on the property, etc. JJ says you can't say that no one can smoke anyone on your property, so I guess the medical campuses that do that are wrong? If it's in the lease, and signed by both parties, then it would be legal. Writing it in yourself after the lease is signed is not legal.
Landlord claims the cats from the defendant, and the other former tenant cats were in one room. Landlady claims all of the carpet was new, but previous homeowner had cats in that room, but had cardboard on top of the carpet to protect it. (I bet the previous owners didn't sanitize the floor under the previous carpet, so the cats would be attracted to the carpet in that room)
No rent is owed by defendant, because the landlord drove tenants out. No before and after pictures were taken.
Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2014)-
Domestic Violence Victim? – Plaintiff Otis Mays Jr suing defendant Frances Howard, for falsely accusing him of assault, and return of his property. Defendant said she saw pictures of other women on plaintiff's computer. After the argument, defendant saw that plaintiff had taken their daughter, so she called the police and reported daughter kidnapped. Child is five years old. Litigants have been living together for five years, with only plaintiff working. During their living together, plaintiff called police twice in 2013 (when the argument happened). On one occasion they both got physical, and defendant called the police, and she assaulted him first. A couple of months later was the argument where she saw the computer photos, had an argument, and that was when she made the false kidnapping report.
Defendant is getting welfare, and she was on the lease, because the government doesn't know plaintiff was living there. So daughter went with dad, and defendant told police he kidnapped her daughter.
Because of the lie about kidnapping, plaintiff was arrested, and lost his job. However, the argument and arrest happened in December, the day after Christmas. Defendant also claimed aggravated domestic assault.
Plaintiff receives $5,000.
Brother Sister War – Plaintiff Skyler Chadrick-Wehrman suing defendant Christopher Wehrman and wife Catherine Wehrman, for moving costs. Defendant had three children under four (my worst nightmare). Defendant was using plaintiff's truck to go to and from work. Plaintiff (age 19) was living with brother and wife, and helping around the house. JJ points out to defendant that claiming to be poor, and having another baby are incompatible.
Plaintiff got student loans and grants, and loaned $2300 to defendant to fix his truck. Defendant claims he only borrowed $800 and it wasn't a loan, but a gift, and claims he repaid $600. Plaintiff shows the $2300 that was loaned to defendant, out of two loans plaintiff took out. Defendant says the money went to support the household, and he was using plaintiff/sister's truck.
Plaintiff receives $2350
Second (2014)-
Handshake Deal Gone Bad -Plaintiffs /former roommates Bradley VanBindsburger and Alexandra Baker-Murray suing defendants/former roommates Matthew Boles and McKenna Pettyjohn for identity theft, unpaid utilities. Plaintiff owned a house, defendant male rented a room, then the girlfriends moved in, so defendants moved to the back house. Defendants were supposed to pay utilities for the back house, defendants claim they paid, and plaintiff man says they didn’t and owe, $4365.
Utilities when defendant moved into the back house, $1600 past due owed. (I don’t know if back house is separate from plaintiff Bradley’s house, or a guest house arrangement).
Plaintiffs Bradley, and defendant Matthew were roommates for years, then in May Bradley bought the house, and in November defendants moved out. Baker-Murray says Pettyjohn stole her identity, and she received a letter that she took to police, and with a video, against Pettyjohn, so JJ can’t try this part of the case. There is a pending investigation, so plaintiff Baker-Murray will have to come back after case is dismissed, or Pettyjohn is convicted.
Bradley’s mother keeps chiming in.
I’m glad Officer Byrd is close by, and security, when plaintiff Bradley starts losing, he is very angry, and glaring at JJ.
Baker-Murray’s case is dismissed until after a legal decision is made.
$406 for plaintiff.
Disability Debit Card Craziness -Plaintiff Shannondoah Baker suing former friend/ defendant Cynthia Wagner for stealing money from her, kicking her out, and refused to return her belongings. This was after plaintiff was in jail for possession of stolen property, and violating probation. Plaintiff claims a man she was dating put the items in her home. Plaintiff took a plea, so pled guilty. Plaintiff claims multiple disabilities, and diagnoses, and gets disability.
Plaintiff was supposed to pay $300 a month rent to defendant, and gave her disability debit card to defendant. Instead of $300, plaintiff claims defendant charged over $900 on the debit card. Plaintiff mother/witness chimes in and claims she took care of incarcerated daughter's Rottweiler/Pit cross. Defendant is counter suing for rent, dog sitting, utilities, etc.
Defendant says the sweater plaintiff is wearing in court, actually belongs to the defendant. I love this, I wish the defendant retrieved her sweater right in court.
Defendant submits a signed, witnessed contract with plaintiff. Plaintiff denies signing the contract. Plaintiff claims defendant kept her art supplies, clothes, and kitchen supplies. Plaintiff’s mother has a son and his family living with her, but not the disabled daughter. I don’t think that because plaintiff has issues, that it means she doesn’t owe defendant anything.
Plaintiff claims dismissed. Defendant counter claim dismissed.

First (2017)-
On Second Thought...I'm Outta Here- Plaintiff /renter Shauntel Taylor suing landlord/defendant Darcy Bretzfor return of rent, and deposits, and harassment. Defendant/landlord is counter claiming for damages to the home. Defendant is doing a lease purchase from the owner, and rents the house out. Plaintiff gave a $1600 deposit on the house, never moved in, and wants her deposit back. Plaintiff actually dragged her child to court, and child is escorted out by Officer Byrd. Defendant isn't the owner, and it's a deed contract (it's basically a lease purchase to defendant from the owner).
Plaintiff was driving by, saw the house for rent, toured the house, put down the $1600 deposit in total. Plaintiff was trying to do renovations before move in, such as ripping out all of the carpet. Plaintiff claims the carpet was disgusting, and was taken out with defendant's permission. Plaintiff took control of the property, ripped out the carpet, and claims the $1600 was to replace the flooring, and she says it was a loan to defendant, not rent and security. PLaintiff was going to move into the house with her children, at least three kids by the time this aired.
There was a current tenant when defendant did the lease purchase contract, and that person moved out after three years. Plaintiff wanted defendant to spend the $1600 deposit, and first month, plaintiff ripped out carpet, but left tack strips, old rug, and padding behind, ripped out cabinets, and other things. Defendant didn't replace the floors, but had to get a contractor to remove the tack strips, and padding.
Plaintiff gets the $1600 deposit back, because the place was rented to someone else for the same rent, on the same month plaintiff was supposed to move in. Defendant counter claim dismissed.
The Disabled Ex-Husband and the Trashed Convertible-Plaintiff Kimberly Beard suing former friend/defendant Eric Britton, for damaging her car while defendant was borrowing it. Defendant is the roommate of plaintiff's ex-husband, they were only married for two months.
Plaintiff is the care giver for ex-husband (for free). Plaintiff parks her 17-year-old car in the garage at plaintiff's home in the winter. Plaintiff went to Florida for five days, and without her permission, the defendant took the car. Plaintiff claims defendant drove the car without her permission, and car was ruined.
Plaintiff claims she had an offer for $2200 for the car. Defendant says his own car has been broken all winter. Defendant said he never drove the car before this occasion. Defendant says his roommate (the ex-husband) needed groceries, and computer repair, so he drove the plaintiff's car.
Plaintiff received $2000 for the car that was totaled,
Plaintiff receives $2,000.
Judge Judy Doesn't Believe You-Plaintiff Mable Winstead is suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Rockery Seale, for unpaid loans to pay for two DUIs ($2429). Defendant is counter claiming for lost property. The litigants lived in an apartment for the entire 15 years they lived together. Plaintiff hasn't worked for 10 years, after surgery on her eyes (on SSI). Defendant had foot surgery for a birth defect, but worked until recently.
Five years ago, the defendant needed to pay fines for DUI and probation. Plaintiff gave the defendant the money from the amount she had saved for a cruise. Plaintiff gets SSI, is totally disabled, but her daughter pays her to babysit her five grandchildren. Plaintiff babysat for the three youngest for a year, and the daughter paid her. Plaintiff paid the money for the fines, and DUIs from an account the daughter held (to keep below income and assets levels?).
My guess is this case is all about getting that show money, and everything will be dismissed.
Plaintiff case dismissed. Defendant gets his property back.
Second (2017)-
Hot Mess of a Long-Haired Cat-Plaintiff Renee Martin suing ex-boyfriend Dean York for an unpaid loan to pay vet bills. Plaintiff used her Care Credit card.
Plaintiff claims defendant was uncontrollable, so JJ tells him to put down the Water That Must Not be Drunk, and he instantly does.
The litigants were dating, but not living together. Plaintiff has two cats, and defendant has one cat, and the loan was for vet bills for shaving because of mats, and catch up on routine shots. Shaving was $70, and then exams, worming, shots, sedation for the grooming, and the total is now with interest, and late fees is now $576. The original bill was almost $400, and interest and late fees were charged, so the total is now $576. Defendant claims he didn't promise to pay the bill, so he didn't. Plaintiff claims defendant promised to pay the bill off within the six months interest free period.
Plaintiff claims man abused the cat, kicked the cat out of his way. I agree with JJ, I find it hard to believe that the plaintiff who claims to be a cat lover, would continue to date the defendant who she saw abusing his cat all of the time. Defendant had the cat for 2 1/2 years, and never took the cat for shots (totally indoor cat). The vet bill was $576 after all of the interest, and fees. JJ's parting remarks make me think she believes the desperate plaintiff's story about cat abuse, and I don't believe the plaintiff.
$576 for plaintiff.
Shoddy Bathroom Remodel-Plaintiff Donald Hall contractor is suing neighbor Laura Ranes for unpaid balance to remodel her bathroom. Plaintiff is a licensed remodeling contractor. Plaintiff was remodeling the bathroom in his neighbor's condo. Plaintiff is on disability (I'm guessing law enforcement,) and SSDI or SSI, but claims he doesn't do heavy work, and limits his income to the amounts of his disability rules. I suspect that's why he wanted partial payments, over a few months, to keep under the income limits. He also subs out some work too.
Bathroom remodel was $2100 left, and defendant claimed the work was faulty, shoddy, and she refuses to pay him. Plaintiff received $1700, and worked over two months on the bathroom. Defendant is upset about the quality of the work, and plaintiff's refusal to fix the problems with the bathroom. Defendant paid another contractor $600 to fix the bad work, and complete the job. The pictures from defendant's cell phone that the work isn't great on the drywall, and paint.
Plaintiff claimed he would fix the last few items in one day, and wanted the money from defendant right then, $2100. Plaintiff claims there is an email from defendant claiming she loved the bathroom, and how nice it turned out.
Plaintiff contracted $3800 for the total job, so defendant will have to pay plaintiff some of the remaining $2100.
$1500 to plaintiff. As JJ says, they deserve each other.

I suspecet everything we see is scripted, either by the show, or probably by the participants, they want to keep the TV money coming in, and that means conflict, even if it's all a lie.

If there's an HOA, you probably can't have an RV in front, but either have to park it off-site, or park it out of site from the road, and in a giant garage. I know many places have strict rules about how long you can park one for loading and unloading. You can't live in one either on a residential property.
Also, he's a test pilot, they are very exacting, and analytical. Their life depends on being perfect about doing everything, analyzing everything, and being decisive. Emotional people don't make it as test pilots.
The people who moved to the Central California mountains to buy land and have a glamping tent camping place, that had to have been a joke, right?
