Kiddy's Construction

It went absolutely terrible. I confronted Rick about his work ethic and he excused it by saying everything took longer than anticipated. Then I asked him why he didn't show up for 3 days and he came up with some other excuses, one of them being that he got sick...for the second week in a row. The few days rick did show up to work, he was either texting or on the phone with his wife for (with no exaggeration) 50% of the time. Rick brought very few of his own tools, so he used all of mine, which was fine. The part that bothered me was that he left my tools all over the place. I still don?t know where all of them are. He didn't clean up AT ALL. He left Thirstbuster cups all over the place, all the popcorn from the ceilings on the ground, a 2 Little Caesars pizza boxes, multiple candy/chips/etc all over my house (not in trash cans). I even walked in and found a banana peel on the ground, that was left there for 4 days until I picked it up. All in all, I pretty much paid Rick $1250.00 partially scrape the popcorn off my ceilings. Everything else I either did for him because he wouldn't show up to work, or I had to redo (like the paint) because it was so poorly done. Now I'm out $1250.00 (just for labor), , another $650.00 to have a plumber properly install the tub, $400.00+ in extra materials, my time spend (unscrewing all of his f-ups), extra paint, and a ceiling fan. I hate cleaning up after people. You know how the saying goes, "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."
