WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas construction contractor has been fined $44,000 after botching a tiny house project.

A Sedgwick County judge found that Rogers Contracting owner Brad Rogers, of Haysville, committed “deceptive and unconscionable” acts while converting a garage building into a micro-home for a Mulvane woman.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Rogers did the work without the required building permits or inspections, so the customer couldn’t get a certificate of occupancy to use the property. Court records say some of the electrical work was found to be substandard and drywall had to be torn out and replaced to correct the problem.
