We are not paying by the hour. And my husband has already chimed in and said will pay no more than the bid. We can't go over that. The weird thing is is that the guy we wanted to do the project was remodeling my sister's house. When I talked to him in Sept he said he was a ways out. He called me just after Christmas and said he has time now. At that point my husband said no we are to far into this. I talked to mark the other contractor and told him the situation. He said. You always clean up after yourself every night. You don't take up both stalls of there garage for 3 1/2 mo and you certainly do not put a wet saw in there bed room for over a week to cut tile. He said after Christmas if this guy does not come back or something to let him know. Last night I told this man he needs to be done with my bathroom by next Friday or else. He has to grout a 6 × 6 floor put 2 bars up on the shower wall. The shower door. Install toilet and sink and mirror. It's a race against time how many think he can do it ???
