KHD, Inc Design Build — AVOID THESE CONTRACTORS.
Cancelled appointments, botched installations that shouldn’t have happened, inability to contact a person who can answer a simple question like “Are you coming tomorrow, and when?”, inability to correctly estimate a job (had to pay 50% over initial estimate due to conditions [created by Virginia Design Builders] that they failed to notice, that is: the sub-floor being a different height than the pre-existing subfloor). Will post a more thorough review later.

POLITICS: U.S. National Debt, as percentage of national income, graphed per-president
Just look at how the debt SKYROCKETS when a republican president is around, but tends to go down with a democratic president. The Democrats are pure evil, but the Republicans are more evil. You are better off voting for neither.
