bay window | Arthritis Information

we have a rotten bay window.   it is quite large and has to be made custom.   right now rain is coming in the house because it leaks.    we have had it worked on many times but it needs to be replaced.    we had a man come out who makes custom windows measure everything last thursday and we asked him for someone who could put it in if we could afford to buy it in the first place.   so on saturday someone came over for measurements and to give us a price on the labor of installing it.    well so far we have gotten no prices.....(i understand this)   well while i was on this site this morning the man who will install the window if we can afford it just showed up!   to take more measurements and stuff....   i was not dressed nor was i expecting him he stayed over an hour inside and outside the house.   i was very uncomfortable and to be quite honest we may not be able to afford their prices.   why would he not call first or anything?   then he left without saying good-bye and he set in his truck in my driveway for 20 more minutes.  (i am sure i was not nice) this is a big job and i know they want to get it right but really couldn't they call?   i would rather they come when my husband is here and he asked me all kinds of questions like when is my husband at work etc.   what the heck?

Yeah; that would have freaked me out a little too. I don't like any service men coming when my husband isn't home. We usually try to schedule things around my husbands scheule.
 
I'm afraid I wouldn't have answered the door at all. Course I'm learning acting like you aren't home isn't always the smartest thing to do either....but showing up unexpected isn't right.
That would have scared me, too. Especially, the personal questions. There are going to  be people who show up with no call, it just happens sometimes. They have no idea of common courtesy. But asking you questions like that, is just uncalled for.
 
I think I would call the company he works for and let them know how uncomfortable he made you feel.
i would but he works for himself.   my husband said he would talk to him about this.   my husband told me i should have told him never to show up without calling first.   i was just so shocked i said nothing.  i looked out the window and his truck was way up in my driveway before i could figure out whose it was or why it was there.   i am still trying to calm down.   thanks for all of you listening.
