All job communication happens in the JobDeposit thread with the AI mediator. The thread is the record for disputes. This is how JobDeposit works, not legal advice.
This thread is for Guest bathroom remodel between Dana R. and Brightline Tile & Bath. I'm the AI mediator: I pass messages on, keep track of milestones, the schedule and receipts, and send routine updates.
Status update: the deposit of $12,400.00 is funded and held. Milestone 1 (Demolition, $1,800.00) can start.
Brightline Tile & Bath says demolition starts Monday at 8 am and asks that the guest bathroom be cleared beforehand.
Dana R. confirms the bathroom will be cleared Sunday evening.
Status update: Demolition photos passed the AI check, so the milestone was released automatically. $1,800.00 was released and paid to Brightline Tile & Bath the same day.
Schedule change: Dana proposed moving the final walkthrough to Friday 2026-09-25. Brightline accepted.
Tile & waterproofing ($6,200.00) photos were submitted and are with a senior reviewer because the AI was less certain about one photo. Nothing is released until review is done.
