HIkatz.... stop worrying about it. IF Troy wanted to make it right, he would have done so. You weren't there and don't know what happened. In my opinion, not only Troy, but EVERY shoddy contractor in Hawaii SHOULD be posted all over the internet and especially here on Punaweb. You reap what you sow. Internet is just a bigger form of word of mouth than in 1960 but the same principal applies. If you do well, customers will praise and recommend you and if you don't that will be spoken of with extreme energy. That is how small communities work.
For example, you drive your car to work 5 days a week for years. One day you are in a mood and run a light, hit another car and kill the driver. THAT is the day that counts. THAT is what you are punished for. No One cares how many other days you didn't run a light; it doesn't matter. It's reality. Mess up and people take notice. Mess up and there are consequences. Truth is, Troy should not be working if he can't do a good job. IF he wants to repair his reputation it is up to him. You nor anyone else can do it for him.
The more people communicate on punaweb, the better. Sharing information and experiences is the essence of punaweb. It's what we do. It strengthens our community and the power of the individuals in the community to live a happy life, get things done effectively, grow in a positive way.
I have no idea what your relationship with Troy is but he better grow up and face reality if he wants to stay in business. That goes for ANY businessman providing a product or a service in Puna. Punaweb will remain alive and well, serving those of us who have built it over the years. It is a strength of the community and the power of communication will always be service to us all.
I am not trying to flame you or hijack the subject. It just seems to me you mean well but need to bite the reality bullet about Troy. Sometimes he isn't great guy doing a great job and he must pay the consequence for his poor judgement or poor behavior. We all do every day.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
