Billings Estate National Historic Site’s trained interpreters will guide you through the epic story, spanning four generations, of one of Ottawa’s founding families and the evolution of the surrounding village. Key players in the development of an early Ottawa bridge, its fast-growing timber business, and the conversion of the area’s forest into farmland, Braddish and Lamira Billings and their family stand as testament to the realization of a vision and the creation of a community.
I talked to Larry and we negotiated a price for him to travel to perform an inspection outside of his normal territory. 3 days prior to the inspection I received a contract with a DRASTIC difference in price as to what we had previously agreed upon. I called him immediately about it and was given completely different numbers and the rational as to why the price went from $500 to $765. I believe he underbid it the first time and/or decided he didn’t want to perform the inspection and tried to cover his tracks without the proper communication. I would hope this is an exception to his normal routine, however, I am very disappointed and was left in a very difficult situation.
