I'm sorry, when I referred to a percentage, I didn't mean dollar wise. I was referring to the amount of work left as far as a percentage. I AM going to cancel my permit as far as the whole picture tomorrow. I figure let this guy figure out arc faults,gfci breakers and the lot. This started off as batering for a portion of his house. He thought he could save a few bucks. Now it appears he isn't interested in finishing his end of the barter and wants to finish the trimming out. I should practice what I preach and never barter. I have been working with this guy for a couple of years and he has never indicated that he got other prices from other electricians. For that, I would always go the extra distance for him. When he came to me with a barter proposal I said,"OK finish my basement." To which he said fine. Well, I have studded walls and a pile of lumber in my basement. Still no soffits or sheetrock. I am so angry with myself I could chew nails.
