Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. What really got to me is he has his own successful business and I think sub consciously was treating me like one of his employees not understanding my time is 75.00/hr not 6.00/hr. The funny thing is I'm not that bothered by the whole thing and feel it was a very good lesson and I got off cheap. The entire bid was $1200.00. This house is just a nightmare and I'm glad to be out of there. I am going to send a 20 day notice of a lien (or take in person to his business). I did offer to come back in a week to not only finish up (less than an hours time to complete) but also to do a few more things he requested for nothing. I really felt for his families sake and safety some things needed to be done which were minor and would take less than an a couple of hours to complete but I had to stop for a couple of other jobs. I really believe that what he did will be on his conscious (sounds stupid) and will bother he and his wife but who knows. Like I said I was very accomodating, anyway thanks again and it could have been much worse so if nothing else I'll chalk it up to experience and keep on keepin' on.
