He said it would be $600 and he would charge by the job, which he didn't normally do, because I didn't have much money. Then he said he had to move the drain, which was no problem. Then he had to build a wall. So then he said it would be $900 and I agreed. He had mostly finished when he wanted to be paid, so I was planning on paying him half of the $900 since he wasn't done. He came by my place of business and told me I owed him $1200! That he was getting paid $25/hour, and that he never said $900, but that the work would be $300-400 more than originally estimated (so that would be $900-1000). I told him he should have said something way sooner because I only budgeted $900. I gave him a check for $900. He left my place of business but returned 20 minutes later and said the check was a worthless piece of paper because he had to deposit it in his account, and he demanded cash. He finally left as I was on the verge of calling 911. Later that day he called my cell but didn't leave a message.
