But maybe I am rolling the dice IDK. Maybe he is a complete a$$hole but if so he sure does a dang good job of keeping that a secret in my limited experiences in talking to him and the work he has done for me. Def sucks what happened to that guy though.

This guy had a problem with an 03 if I remember. Sometimes you get what you give. He was very nice, did great work and had a really quick turn around. Shoots 185 and 210 Barnes right at an inch.

I will get Todd to paste his threads up of his 35 Wheelen BLOW UP!!! JES.....did not make good on it Thank you for answering my question Ted. I don't know. I suppose things happen. Seems by the many many good reports we expect a fellow to hit a home run each time up to the plate. When after thousands of successful jobs, "something" doesn't go as wished do we demonize them.? Now, I don't know all the ins and outs, but sometimes crap happens. I pride myself in doing quality work, but when a tarp blows off a semi finished roof in the middle of the night durring high winds and rain, am I then a hack.? Or when a screw slides down along the side of a stud and clips a 12-3 feeding an outlet am I a chuck.? Should no one ever hire me because things happen.? Now, if I shrugg my shoulders in some appathetic way and don't make it right, then THAT becomes a reason to avoid hiring me. The one thing about the internet is bad news travels fast, and EVERYONE hears about it. A fellow with a good rep then gets labled a hack. Ted, I do appreciate you having brought this to my attention. I will weigh it out. It is however the only report I have ever heard that would shed bad light on JES. That being what it is, the scales weigh heavily in favor of his workmanship. Thanks again, I do appreciate the response. "I'd rather have an Army of Asses led by a Lion, than an Army of Lions led by an Ass." (George Washington)
