Rick Woodmansee, Scammer and Crook. Beware!

This page discusses how Woodmansee, his Major Dumbo Clayton Stanbaugh, and his other freelance misfits-for-hire, ripped us off, pretending to do quality construction work, but just je**ed off, week after week, while greedily grabbing cash, fattening themselves up at The Mine Shaft on our time and our dimes, and wrecking virtually everything they touched.

You can also read a related story where his criminal behavior nearly destroyed a local woman, who hired and trusted him. He took all her money, accomplished NOTHING, and ran.

We are still waiting for the New Mexico Construction Industries Division to take him to task for his sins. Of course, since his license was revoked years ago, he's now gone rogue...
..WATCH OUT for this villain!!! The Scourge of the Turquoise Trail. Think "Billy the Kid, with all the venality and none of the romance."

THE VERY WORST CONTRACTORS WEST (OR EAST) OF THE PECOS!
RICK WOODMANSEE IS THE RINGLEADER!
BEWARE!

"No job too big or to small...to F**K UP!"

That could well be the motto of RICK Woodmansee and his henchman, Clayton Stambaugh -- two Santa Fe County Idiots who ripped us off for a shameful amount of money, pretending to be competent workers when in fact they are dishonest, inept, bumbling morons.

I went to sharpen a chainsaw today, and found that my nifty German-Made $50 Stihl chainsaw chain sharpener had been wrecked by these lunkheads.

Although they said they knew how to use these things -- here, as elsewhere, they lied to us on a non-stop basis -- in fact they did not, so instead of using it properly, they opened the thing up, pulled out the files, and tried to sharpen something manually, using the built-in Stihl files as "standard files," which they are not. They are made especially for chainsaw chains, and are not designed to be used outside the device!

Another tool wrecked -- these freaks don't use their OWN tools! -- , and more needless expenses incurred, thanks to these moronic crooks, RICK Woodmansee and Clayton Stambaugh.

If you are in the NM14/Madrid/Cerrillos/Turquoise Trail/Santa Fe area, WATCH OUT FOR THESE SHYSTERS!!! They will steal your money and stuff their fat faces at The Mine Shaft with your hard-earned dollars, as they did with ours.

Be sure to read this entire Facebook Site to get the full picture on these pea-brained scoundrels!

More shoddy work by Rick Woodmansee, Clayton Stambaugh, and his larcenous, criminally-inept, and deeply-deceitful gang.

If you need a laugh, look carefully at the photo and see what went down here:

1. Brass trim strip is cut too long, and won't fit next to the vertical door astragal.

2. Instead of cutting it to size, these knuckleheads just jam it up against the astragal and forget about it!

3. As a result, THREE trim screws are left out, the piece is cockeyed, it doesn't seal ANYTHING, and the rubber seal just hangs down like shed tears, blowing in the wind.

Way to go, you thieving sociopaths!

Important Note: Please read this entire page to get the entire sad story of these local shysters and how they ripped us off, big time. And other people, too.

CID can't yank his license, because they already did (!), but The NM Attorney General and/or the State Police should have a LONG talk with him about his organized criminal activity, and force him to pay restitution to all the honest folks he's ripped off.

A snake? A rope? Naah, just a piece of Window Trim that Rick Woodmansee, Local Scammer, tore off of our window and never bothered to put back!

More fine work from Rick Woodmansee, Clayton Stambaugh, and his criminal gang of phony contractors that can't shoot straight!

Way to go, you larcenous lunkheads.

At left: a Ryobi tool (ours) in excellent condition.

At right: a similar tool, also ours, used and abused by Rick Woodmansee, Clayton Stambaugh, and their henchman-clown.

Only an idiot-teenager would lose the original thumb-screw pictured at left, since there is no reason ever to even remove it (no less lose it); only a malevolent, idiotic teenager would 1. Remove the factory thumb screw; 2) Lose it; 3) Replace it with an ordinary nut, and 4) Seeing that the chosen nut had the wrong thread and wouldn't screw on the bolt, and just leave it on there anyway, carelessly and recklessly.

Way to go, you felonious freaks!

Of course, the fact that these jokers didn't even use their own tools ( like ANY "real" workers would), but used (and ruined) ours -- like this one, AND our mangled table saw), was like rubbing salt in the wound!

Would SOMEONE arrest these execrable individuals?

Would SOMEONE arrest these execrable individuals, and force them to compensate all the innocent people they've ripped off?

Do it, AG! And mandate restitution for his victims.

More fine work from Rick Woodmansee, Clayton Stambaugh, and his gang that can't shoot straight: failing, poorly/sloppily-installed weatherstripping, which is falling apart after an extremely short "service life"; the metal portion of the weatherstripping chopped up in pieces in order to fit, and one wrong screw ("hey, there's a DECK SCREW on the ground, let's just use that!") sticking way out instead of set flat and tight.

Additionally, for days, we paid to have this door refinished; instead of stripping the old, weathered varnish off completely, which is hard work, they simply sanded and sanded -- lightly --without stripping -- taking their sweet time -- grinding the old varnish so deeply into the wood that it will take a massive stripping job to get it all off, so the door can be PROPERLY stained and refinished!

Way to go, you larcenous lunkheads.
