A trick someone else passed on to me, actually, is that Windex will cut through most of the cigarette crap left on walls. Straight up application, no diluting. Apply with a sponge, leave on for 5 minutes, wipe off.

Your mileage - and the amount of effort it takes - may vary.

Yeah, but TSP is a standard pre-paint prep anyway. You need to wash the walls with it in order to kill the gloss and let the new paint stick.

Alaric: you need to get a liarlawyer involved, son. Budget is trying to fuck you.

You've got our phone number? I know you've got his cell number and I've got your number. I'll give you a call later to pass along our number later today.

We are seriously looking at a lawyer. A friend here has a friend who does contract law and is willing to work on contingency for a modest percentage.

Doh. Clearly, that strikethrough is supposed to end after "liar"...

No, I don't have your number.

My thought is that you should be able to show that truck to a DOT inspector and get Budget bent over a sawhorse damn quick. Broken leaf springs are a pretty obvious sign of negligent maintenence. Big trucks are supposed to get inspected on a fairly regular basis, to ensure that this sort of thing doesn't happen.
