The house next to me has been vacated for several months and there has been work being done on it (its visible that this is happening). There are absent landlords and I do not have their contact info. I share a fence with them and the guy doing some of the work just knocked on my door and asked if he could get into my side of the fence and also some how raise it and put it back down (he did not say "some how" but described it. My brain just doesn't work that way so I dont remember what he said). He says they are doing foundation work, which I believe as a lot of foundation work was needed on my home before I bought it. I feel so untrusting these days. I said yes, as it seems to be a reasonable request and he is clearly working on the other house. He offered to clean my leaves up for me for free in exchange. However, we got into a discussion about how a part of my fence that is just mine never worked the way it should (long story, but I have tried to get someone to fix this forever and I have just thrown out money). He said he will buy the supplies which are less than $100, I can reimburse him and he will do the work for free. I said okay, do that instead of the leaf clean up he originally offered. Things are just so unsafe feeling these days and I don't know if I did the right thing. He said he did not have a card, but I looked up the name of his business and it matches the name and phone number he gave me. In googling them, there are some scary reviews (2) from a google search about absconding money from insurance and not completing work and all positive reviews on the facebook page...now I looked up on the CCB site and his company is not on there as licensed. WWYD? I have him my phone number and took his. Should I text and tell him to forget about picking up my supplies? Anything else?
