Just When I Think He Can No Longer Surprise Me...

You know how you see something wrong, but your mind just can't quite piece it together for a while? That is exactly what I experienced when I got home. Ex's car was parked on the street, there were other vehicles around, and a huge truck in the driveway.

My brain could not compute. Something happened to the house? Maybe the big maple tree is being yanked out??? What da feck! I smelled tar. He's having the driveway paved. Say what?!

Ok, I'm a bit fuming, and I'll explain why. Where did he find the money to have it paved? The lowest quote we've gotten was for about $7,000-$8,000 (it's a big driveway). According to Ex, he has no money (so he says), but still owes me quite a chunk from the divorce settlement, so what gives?

Turns out, he fell for the "o, we've got extra materials, we'll only charge you this much" line. Ok, so he did get an excellent deal, but for one, it is said that the materials used are no longer at the perfect temperature for pouring by the time they hit the next house, and that this is sort of a scam. Fine. It's his problem. Mine is that he could have used that money for O-say, pay me back??? Just an idea.
