I am 7 weeks into an "8week" reno
Two weeks ago, I recommended my contractor (who up to that point I had been very impressed with) to my neighbor. My neighbor wanted to redo their bathroom- no biggie.
Contractor tells them he could get their job done in a weekend if they would buy the materials they wanted.
Sure as shit, he started on their job this past Saturday (before my job is completed). After demo in their bathroom, he discovers rotten wood and has to replace a lot more than he had anticipated. He is still over there working while some of his laborers do little tasks at my house.
Do I have the right to be pissed? He was supposed to be wrapping up my job this coming weekend. I think we are at least another week or two away from moving in.
throw in on top of that, my wife is about 32 weeks pregnant and we still haven't moved back in.
I've been paying him on weekly draws. I'm afraid he'll just stop where he is if I don't pay him tomorrow... Then again, I don't know what I would really be paying for.
That said, his laborers expect to get paid on Fridays in order for their family's to eat, and I don't want to unjustly burden them for his actions.
What say you?
