He asked for $600 up front and wanted to get started right away because he was in a bind and really needed the work. We were able to accommodate and got him $600 cash. Although he was eager to get started, he didn't show up for another 4 hours to start. The next day he said he'd arrive between 10 and 10:30; didn't show until almost 1p. The next day, 2 hours late. Had to take a day break because I couldn't be home. He agreed to come back the day after, but then had truck problems. I didn't hear from him after that, couldn't get hold of him, he wouldn't answer calls or texts for almost a week, leaving two bathrooms incomplete and in disarray. Not knowing when or if he was returning, I had to start working on the bathrooms myself and finished one. He finally returned after a week, spent an hour and a half in the incomplete bathroom and left for "tools". He said he'd be back in a "few hours", but never returned.
