Home and Auto I'm going to club a guy over the head with a jug of antifreeze.

It sounds to me like the guy is an irresponsible jerkoff or a complete incompetent.
It sounds to me like you've given him ample opportunity to correct the problem and he called down the thunder.

Pool the planet power and flog him mercilessly.

Heck, my company depends on doing quality work. Just today I gave a client a free hour because I didn't feel we accomplished enough. he'll remember that next time he has me come back.

It wouldn't be too difficult to find out if there is a professional bureau in your state. I'd wager you could file a complaint, just like you can with an incompetent land surveyor or engineer.

This.

And, Assessors are elected Appraisers, so if there's a "one hand washes the other"-thing going on, well...you know.

Really? I didn't know that.

I may also find out where he lives and do a market study that recommends putting a Long John Silver's next to his house.

Okay, quick revision here:

Assessors are elected officials who MUST be licensed as Appraisers with the State Dept. of Revenue.
County Assessors have County Appraisers who work under them, and it is those Appraisers who set the $$$$ value on the acreage and dwelling, as it relates to your yearly tax bill.

Private Appraisers for lending companies are total garbage. One of my friends out here built a monster house; he used the best materials money can buy, and it's a total 'Hefner Pimp Ski Lodge'. The private appraiser worked solely on square footage alone.
Which, it seems, you're not even getting the luxury of.

Try your State Dept. of Revenue, and see what they say.

We had a very similar experience 2 years ago. We were looking to refinance, had just had new furnace and roof installed. Also added central air. The asshat kid the company sent out actually appraised the house for less money than we paid for it.

I called the owner of the company to see if there was some kind of mistake and was told that all appraiseals are "opinions". After some research I found out that the jerk didn't even compare our house to similar properties.

Found the address of the company and told the boss to schedule an appointment to "discuss" why the opinion was so much lower than it should have been.

Long story short, asshat kid was terminated, our house was appraised for it's worth, and I told the finance company, WaMu for what it is worth to stick it. Sold the property and moved to present local.

I feel your pain.

I'd say. I mean you average 20 posts a year. Hope it all worked out.
