Cowboys and Crooks

When I was a kid, we played cowboys and crooks and chose who we wanted to be. If you deal with Neil Kemp and Gheko (pool) Services, you will get both. Neil was contracted by me to build a 4x3 concrete pool. They sell you the dream. When digging the pool they chopped off an underground down-pipe flow. He lied to me and told me it was a French Drain pipe that went nowhere. Nevertheless, I asked him to relay it which he didn’t do. A year later, as a result of this cowboy approach, all the rainwater and backwash that went down the gutter eroded the soil under the pool to such an extend that the the bottom cracked and lost all the water - remember it was pipes that were simply chopped off. After calling him numerous times he came out. He was irritated with me, again ‘cowboyed’ on and patched the pool awfully, smoothing nothing and leaving atrocious work behind him (sneakily hiding the rubble behind the dog kennel). Needless to say, the pool leaked again and lost 95% of it’s water. I contacted Neil and requested that he fix the leak(s). Still waiting to this day without a response on whatsapp from him (he blocks the calls). I got some professionals over to quote me to fix his mess and to use their words “...was shocked at the poor workmanship performed...”. I would not recommend Neil Gerald Kemp or Gheko Services to touch a pool. I question his integrity and skillset.
