Then when you don't have the money immediately to hand to give them, they wander off, and start another job elsewhere, still leaving the final bits unfinished! :mad: Ours did thoughtfully leave old craft-knife blades lying about in nearly every room, just in case we felt the need to slash our wrists! :eek: How are progress payments made as the work proceeds? But they cannot say they are going to finish late and then start charging you for accelerating the works. I would be inclined to get someone else to finish off the works and back charge the buggers. |

Thats not a lot for a new house mate Get Mrs C foot taped to the brake pedal Eddie We get another 'inspection' at 60 days and then a year and then the drywalling has a 3 year 'warranty' so a lot of things (like a crack in the basement floor and a crack in the garage floor) will be added to future lists. Again thanks for your good wishes mate. Hows your luck going with the house sale and getting yer great hairy scot arse over here? Butch |
