Engage another contractor to get the work done and move in.You will stress more if you continue to drag further.I agree.Separate the two matters now; finish up the house, and settle the problem with the contractor later.

Not 2 say veri gd buddy! Even blood siblings olso sue one another b.cos of $$$. Somemore u got no black & white (written agreement signed by both parties).Without any written agreement or prove, its only your words versus his words, kinda near impossible to claim back your $$$.Aniway, s suggested by vowsh, zirhk3355, karen77sg...its best 2 get another contractor 2 finish up e remaining reno works.But dun 4get, dis new contractor u gona ngage, is costing u another reno amount on-top of e previous 95% u'v paid.My writing/words may not b nice 2 read/hear, but u gota face it, its e Reality of This World. By waiting, u'l loose even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
