I'd be raising hell right now too. Enough is enough already! Maybe you should let your son at them...

Hire a few men like me, have the fence removed and delivered back to Lowes under the eye of the press
Go public as they hand you the checque for your loss of time and humiliation of doing business with them.

It can be such a hassle dealing with big companies.

Well it does sound rather nightmarish Pat I would be worried about those holes, it is sad really, what a poor advert for the firm, I think a small one man firm would have wiped it up in three days.

Re: talking about the liability that could be incurred by the holes...
I did talk to him about that in person a few days ago. I said if someone should be injured, who do you think the lawyers would go after, a senior citizen living on a pension or a big box store with deep pockets? That was one of the days they showed up for a couple hours. I probably should have gone back out there this a.m. with my big 6'4" son with 25 years experience running plumbing jobs... They'd have been missing a cheek or two if he'd gone along, and I don't mean the ones on the face...

Sounds like some student archaeologists would enjoy
clearing the ground and digging the holes. They'd probably take a whole semester, though. But they might be fun to have around.

Play the poor frail little old lady with a dicky ticker who had cancer and is doing her best NOT to be a burden on her country and continues to live in her own home so as not to cost taxpayers by living in care....AND who has a sleepwalking neighbour...no you cannot remember her name ...your old remember...and if said neighbour falls into a hole ...why, you can just see a lawsuit coming....

Pretty bad! It goes to show you that 'corporate quality control' is very difficult when it comes to outfits like this with many self-contained locations! Our local Lowe's has been quite satisfactory - mind you, I've never asked them to build a fence...
