“December 2019 Seth Ebel of Seth Ebel Construction (Belfry Montana) was retained by me as a hired General Contractor to finish out my 25X19 barn structure in Red Lodge MT. He agreed to finish the barn into living space within one year and was pre-paid $34,368.58 in advance at his request. He drew up a legal agreement which we both signed. After he received my money, his conversations slowed to a halt. He would only appear & do pidley little things to the barn, and kept coming up with excuses why he couldn’t do more.

These excuses included “well it’s hunting season and I don’t work during hunting season, I broke my foot, 5 people close to me just died, I can’t work in the winter due to the frozen ground, covid stopped me, etc. Then after digging a whole in the yard on May 2021 he then completely disappeared & now refuses to call, text, or email me back. A neighbor contacted him in my behalf to ask why he was doing this? The neighbor said that Seth replied “I don’t care”. He works in the Red Lodge MT area and works from his home in Belfrey, MT
