Hired a guy to build 300’ of coral fence with welded wire inside for my backyard. They also needed to clear out some brush that was in the way. Saturday 11/12 the they had all the brush cleared and drilled the first post hole on Sunday. As it sits today there is still half the brush to be hauled off, all posts are set, and about 2/3 of wire and it’s taken them almost 20days to get to this point. When they work it’s for 2-4 hours and that’s it. Haven’t been here all week except for Tuesday morning for about 30min to haul off some of the brush (never returned).
I’ve spoken to the boss man on several occasions about timelines and such, he has given me 2 deadlines and missed both. I spoke to him on Tuesday and requested he give me a firm deadline on when he would have it finished. He said This coming Saturday I told him if it wasn’t done at the end of day I was going to cut ties and hire someone else or finish it myself.
I’ve made a couple payments to him when certain stages were completed. 1st payment after brush was cleared and holes were dug, 2nd payment after all posts were set and the final payment would be when the fence was finished.
Am I being unreasonable to expect that this job should not have taken near this long? I would be more understanding if they had been putting in the work, but 2-4 hours at a time and I bet they have only been here 5-6 days out of the 20.
