Freaking contractor!!!!

[lazydays]

I have had similar experiences myself. The picture of Holmes is appropriate because even he says the home owner must be involved, ask questions and monitor contractors. I've also learned to be extremely specific about what I expect to be done including the cleanup. It's easy to assume a contractor will do things like cleanup at the end of the job but your version of cleaning up and his may not be the same. You have to be specific. That has been my experience.
