Defendants' answers to paragraphs I through 43 of Plaintiffs Complaint are incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth. 45. Plaintiff began work on the Ginanni job in or about March, 1999, and completed the work on or before May 13, 1999. Plaintiffs work on the Hummel and Manheim jobs was completed by or before June 10, 1999, 46. Prior to Plaintiff commencing work on the Ginanni job, Defendant explained to Plaintiff the work that needed to be done as well as the fact that Defendant had allocated only $5,500.00 from his contract with the homeowner for said electrical work. Plaintiff did not refuse the job and began work on the Ginanni job. ;>s",~'~_~ ,r_'-n_O_,' "",_,_~,;',,~_;,,"I__'_;'_ ,-_~~"'( :" --c""_"-' -.--,'" ,-__~. ice" '0' . 0_', "'""~> ,',~, "Y. ,__' . _' _' ,. - - -- ,-C)' -~. -,,,,,~ ,~ -- 47. Approximately two (2) weeks after beginning the Ginanni job, Plaintiff told Defendant that he would need more money to complete the work. Defendant responded that he could offer him a couple thousand dollars more, bringing the maximum amount allotted for the electrical work to $7,500.00. Plaintiff did not reject this amount and proceeded to finish the job. 48. On or about April 20, 1999, Plaintiff presented to Defendant the invoices attached to Plaintiffs Complaint as Exhibit "B", Said invoices total $5,799.79. 49, In reliance on said invoices, Defendant gave Plaintiff check #7204 dated April 21, 1999, in the amount of$5,800.00 (rounded up from $5,799.79). A true and correct copy of the back and front of said check is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "1". 50. By check #7510 dated October 21, 1999, Defendant paid Brian Porr $9,035.94 with the understanding that a portion of this money was to be given to Plaintiff. Plaintiff admits to receiving at least $4,500.00 of this check from Brian Porr, A true and correct copy of the back and front of said check is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "2". 51. Said $4,500.00 was allocated as follows: $1,500.00 as final payment for the Hummel job; $1,881.91 as final payment for the Manheim job and the balance of$1,118.09 as final payment for the Ginanni job. Thus, the total amount paid to Plaintiff for the Ginanni job was $6,918.09 ($5,800 + $1,118.09). 52. In November, 1999, Plaintiff presented Defendant with additional invoices. True and correct copies of said invoices are attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "3". Said invoices indicate that Plaintiff is due an additional $3,331.00 for the Ginannijob. 1:~7-~ ,~,"~ . "," , , ~--,-'-"---~'''K-~r-~-" . , ?",~"....~" ',' .,- ---"'?'-"~'--- ",' .~ ~~ ,,' ," , " >~ ~, ,,,. However, this amount would result in payment to Plaintiff for the Ginanni job well in excess of the $7,500.00 estimate. 53. As such, Defendants admit only to owing Plaintiff the difference between the estimate of$7,500.00 and the amount paid of$6,918.09Ieaving a balance due of$581.91. 54. In addition, Plaintiff, according to its own terms as stated in the invoices dated April 20, 1999 (Exhibit "B" to Plaintiffs Complaint) and November, 1999 (Defendants' Exhibit "3"), overcharged Defendant for the electrical work, Specifically, Plaintiff charged Defendant for 400 opening at a price of $20.00 each. However, Plaintiff did not install 400 openings. Rather, Plaintiff installed only 308 openings, which means that it overcharged Defendant by $1,840.00 (92 openings x $20). WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully requests this Honorable Court to dismiss Plaintiff s Complaint with prejudice and grant all such other relief as is proper and just.
