OMG you saying that reminded me that I did get caught by exactly that once in my very young days. The guys offered to do my driveway and they didn't have enough tarmac, it looked such a mess for weeks until I got it sorted. I didn't pay a penny to the first crowd though thank heaven.
I must say though it taught me a valuable lesson, never take half measures.
