By day three I had decided to get rid of him and made up a story about having to leave the state to attend to family business. He was very, very reluctant to allow this to happen. He demanded that he be allowed to finish the job even when I said it was impossible and he had been paid well over the amount he should have for only 2 days work. I had paid him Half of his fee for work that was not worth 1/4 of his fee. Most of the real work was yet to be done so I could not see why he should be paid as he was. But again, he was so insistent that he be paid more money before I left.  There was no way in the world he had done $3000. dollars worth of work in that bathroom. When it was finally over and I had two other people come to look at it and give me their assessment they were shocked that he charged so much for so little work that was not completed.
I had to hire another contractor who charged me to do it ALL OVER AGAIN, since Ed had done so much of the work WRONG to begin with. The new contractor even offered to go to court to stand up for me when he saw that Ed had not done a few things up to code and he would have to start all over again to get it right. Even having to take down the sheetrock to get to the electric and plumbing that had been done wrong!. But I was tired of the whole thing and just wanted to get the bathroom done. thank goodness the new contractor came in with his guys to complete the work and did a incredible job. His men were very respectful, quiet and cleaned up after themselves.  Unlike Ed who had left a mess inside the house and outside the house! It was so refreshing to have some nice people around for a change, Not a scammer who took my money and refused to give a portion back even though he knew he had not done the work I deserved.
Do not use these guys. He'll  talk a good game but you will pay for it in the end. I'm still upset that  I allowed this  man to talk me into giving him the job with all sorts of promises to do the right thing no matter what,  always pretending to be your best "buddy". Yeah, right.
