and not delivered.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: What materials
did you pay him
for that were not delivered?
>> There was additional lumber
to finish framing
out the basement.
There was some of the other
additional plumbing.
>> Judge Judy:
I need to look at figures.
>> Oh.
>> Judge Judy: I need to look at
what you paid him...
>> I do have --
>> Judge Judy:
...what it was for.
>> I do have an overall summary,
but I do have the whole stack
of receipts, as well.
>> Judge Judy: No, I don't look
at summaries,
and I'm not looking at stacks
of receipts.
What you have to do is show me,
after you fired him,
which was on what date?
>> When he didn't do the stuff
after December 16th.
>> Judge Judy: So now I want you
to show me bills
that you had to purchase
for additional materials
that you purchased
after December 16th,
additional lumber.
That's all I want to see,
additional lumber
that you had to purchase
after you fired him
in order to complete the job.
He should have had everything
there on site
for what you paid him.
Then, you fired him
for whatever reason.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy:
So I want you to just show me
after December 16th
what lumber you had to buy.
>> Honey, I need your
assistance here.
He's more familiar with the
[Indistinct].
>> Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Don't speak!
>> Okay.
Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Just show me
a bill after December 16th
for lumber.
>> There was a lot of bills...
>> Judge Judy:
Just show me
after December 16th...
>> Here's the insulation
that was not delivered.
Here is...
>> Judge Judy:
That's not my question.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy:
Listen to me carefully.
>> I am digging for it.
>> Judge Judy: Sir.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: You're not
paying attention to me.
All I want to see is what
she purchased
after December 16th...
>> After December --
>> Judge Judy: ...because I
assume...
Listen to me.
Just answer my questions.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: So far,
you have lumber that you said
he did not deliver.
According to your contract,
he was supposed to be finished
with this job
sometime in December.
He was let go, fired, left,
whatever on December 16th.
At the time, he had not
completely finished the job.
Everyone agrees on that.
He had finished the roof,
which was a little over $9,000.
You graciously,
in your complaint,
agreed to give him credit
for $7,000
for completing the roof.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Well,
that doesn't exactly add up
to what was your quote
if he finished the roof.
He also did half the work
that was referred to
in this proposal.
It's referred to
in your contract.
And you agreed
that he did half the work.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: So, so far,
he owes you $1,335
because he didn't do that work.
You did not pay him
for the full job,
which was $16,000.
You gave him $14,000.
So somebody
had to complete the job.
I assume it was this gentleman.
>> Yes, it was.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, now this
gentleman
will have $3,400 left
to complete the job,
but you say
that there were materials
that you had to buy,
lumber that he says was there,
you said you had to buy.
That's all I want to see.
So I want to see the bill
for the lumber,
which he says was there.
Do you have it?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> It's in this stack,
yes, ma'am.
We have the copies,
and then we have the originals,
but we didn't have it
in order of lumber,
so we have to combine it
because it's combined
with other receipts on here.
>> Judge Judy: You may have
needed other things
to complete the job.
You have another $3,500
to complete the job.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> All right.
>> Judge Judy: Property taken
without permission.
So you keep looking.
>> No, I got it right...
>> Judge Judy: Property taken,
what property did he take
without permission?
>> I believe he had taken
some tools off the property
and the...
>> Judge Judy: What do
you mean --
>> ...and the lot.
>> Judge Judy: What do you mean,
you believe he took?
>> I don't have 100 percent
proof
it was him, but he had keys,
and his other employees had keys
to my residence at that time.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> But we did file
a police report.
>> Judge Judy: What else?
>> And some of the workers'
tools, not mine personally,
but some of the workers' tools
that I provided
on the police report.
>> Judge Judy: What you believe
is not relevant.
What you can prove is relevant.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy:
