Where to start?

Things are not going well. Not at all. We are having some major issues with the contractor. Besides the fact he or his crew let Stirling out (and she walked herself to the dog park where a kind stranger called me to say he had her), or the broken framed poster, or the no vapor barrier around the tub ( which isn't absolutely necessary apparently but is a good idea), we thought we had been able to move past it all to get the job done.

Now comes the request for more money to reframe a wall that we thought would be included in the contract under "frame walls." The leveling and reframing the floor. The rehanging of the door frame.

Then late last night the discovery that there is no water supply line for the toilet visible. There are pipes coming out of the wall for the sink but not the loo. Well, we lost it and are now trying to figure out our next move. Do we fire him now? Have him come and find the pipe for the loo and then fire him? Can we finish the rest ourselves? Should we rebid what is left?

So things aren't going well. Not at all.
