Hmmm, still no mention of the LAME's report or pictures of the damaged area.
Then again Jim may be busy chasing it along.
What often happens with GA aircraft ownership is that guys fall foul of a hangar, - word gets about and then they find it difficult to get good service.
Non-payment and tinkering would be the worst offending.
You really need to have a good working relationship with the LAME..... he not only has to deal with the aircraft but the owners as well.
We would turn work away if the guy had a non-payment history or if we suspected that any maintenance had been conducted without a Release to Service.
Neither are fair on the LAME that certified the job so quite rightly we don't give second chances.
It all comes down to priorities after that..... as I mentioned in my earlier post, - a job like this in a fleet environment could be fixed within hours.
