So much for a week

They agreed to the conditions on Wednesday. Now Friday, the contractor finally got the appropriate figures on the quote for work to be approved by the engineer. Their lawyer was tip toeing around about allowing the contractor to put in the exact numbers into his report.

After the call from my lawyer, I find out they won't start until Wednesday. I said, well, I'll be generous and give them until Friday, but I said one week from agreement for them to do the work, not one week from the date the work proposal was acceptable. Granted, you made clear barring weather, but barring weather are they going to be done on time?

With an answer of well... a 2-3 day job... I said, so does that mean no?

I reiterated that 1 week was a condition, and that I agreed to nothing more than that. If it was unclear then they can deal with the inadequacy they created and not make any money.

I refrained from cursing, but I just wanted to say, "For F's sake man how clear do I need to be before you understand my position?"

Well, he's going to get a hold of them again to see if they understood that portion of the agreement. However, the near back in house, looks like it won't happen now.

On the plus side I got my brother's wife's phone turned off and the rate plan turned down yesterday. Just until May 10th, then it's all off!
