well I don't know if you all remember me but I just need to vent. This contractor is still here working, However at Christmas I told him we were going to my sons in Rodchester and when we get home all this crap should be out of the house and the garage. I said if it is not I will personaly do it myself. He said oh you cant do that. So we left for the weekend and when we came home it was all gone. Yay. He didn't come back to work till yesterday to grout. we are working on the shower . he came to work yesterday at 2:30 and left at 6:30. only got half the shower done. at this rate it will take him another month. we are on our 4th month now and I feel like my space is so invaded !!! I have had a broken back. I just want to lay down in my own bed and rest and I cant and I just want to cry.

@users Are you in a position to call in another contractor to finish the job, and fire this current guy? Then report him to state contractor's board, Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and Nextdoor. Like others have mentioned, I hope you have not paid him at this point. Does he have a plausible reason for being so slow? I sincerely hope you achieve results soon!

@suerc Oh my goodness, Sue, I can only imagine your frustration. This is really unacceptable. Did he have good references? If so then hopefully he will finish soon and have done a good job for you.

hugs dear woman, hugs. At least you got part of what you wanted. Having no control is the worse part. Yes, I can think of many "guy" solutions such as having someone else finish it, not paying him(an option?) locking up all his tools, taking him to court, etc but that doesn't help getting it done any sooner. Royal Caribbean has a nice cruise Jan 24-Feb 2 to Bahamas? Yes, it is so nice being in your own bed. Hugs again sweet woman, eventually it will pass, like a kidney stone.
