I just have an argument with my X-Contractor about the settlement and end up I told him is fine that if you think that the correct amount, as I just didn't want to have any business with him.

The story start like this:-
Initial he job are doing very good and prof way, but once it extentin til second floor, I start noticed problem as the wall a bit slip a side and I has have warmed him and lucky about to get it correct.
After than I have more caustion and end up more correction require lol.
The explore happen when it came to the front gate pillar, as instead of build through concreate it just use brick for the two pillar, hence I contact the gate folk to check whether it could suitain my gate or not (I'm ordering 16F gate), and been advise better use concreate due to the gate size, and normally the fault area is the connector between pillar and gate which causing problem due to the build of pillar. So I have ask the contrator redo the whole thing else I will not pay him. Sure he will *&&^%^*.
After he redo, I noticed that from side view (pillar to pillar), the one whole the dushband is more front than another, hence I complained again and he have to re-cememat the whole thing again...after he done it and it look fine again.
Few weeks later while I discussed with next door, and next door asking my "Adik, why you pillar build funny and side one side?", I ask what you meant? than only noticed from pillar look into the house, it not a line and it go to the door. I used the measurement tape and check. What the hack, front pillar 6 in and back pillar 9 inch, sure it look funny. Than when I complained, guess what answer I got.... Your house a slip one side, and I get him 4 letter word and ask him, you solve out or you gone.

After the incident a week, I told him I will put the tiles and paint out from him ...

Today when he called up for the settlement, and told me him done this / that, need charge and so on and all rubbish talk....and basically want extra 1K just to settle the claimed I charge back to him due to the concreate leaking task that I informed him and he claimed not free, and agreed me to ask Indo to get it solve....

So member here, learnning point is
1) Get Black and white and itemize down what the jobs is
2) Even a small task that is agreed FOC or charge, wrote it down
3) review every 2 weeks on the agreement
4) Cheap not meant Good and may need pay extra more just like me...(Extra almost 10K to clear "Shit" for him by other)

Why I pay the extra? 1) With extra 1K I didn't need to have nightmate what he will do 2) 1K to know a guy is expensive but someone is also a good news , at least I will not further refer him to other people. I also sound the lady who introduce me on the contractor better dont introdce him further.

That what I done but will pay more extra.
I should listen to my uncle since begine, get the 2nd expensive (next to the lower) on your list, instea fo lower. The Higher mostly will be the one who look for "Water First", the lower mostly want to have the job but not sure end up with (this is what I'm having now), the medium will be those still make $$$ but reasoable "Water fish"

Friend, all wet work done almost 1.5 months ago, than I removed the contract and get new tiles folks to solve more, than other all done by Indo (intrudction by the tiles sife)...by next week my plaster ceiling plus skim coat will be done as well....
Hope by end Sept everything should done...

Yes, it really take long for my renovation. It start after Chiness New year till now, which almost 6 months time...even my friend as me build the whole new house kah???

Yah...I hope so. That I could concentra my lighting / alarm / CCTV / gate....

Finally, get him out from my way after given him the final outstanding...

Purposely as him come to new house to collect the cheque, than when he arrived, I just point him
1) to the concreate car pourche: you see till now the leaking still can't solve
2) you see the car part is higher than next door 3 inch? Thanks for you addition high which cause the tile folks have to align to what you have done
3) you see my living hall, it is higher than normal, it thank for your extra work.

and I just handover the cheque and get the receipt, just turn back and walk in.

Yes, I may be no respect but sorry I can't respect this type of people.

Sound like him except i didn't know actual he staying. He own a Camry / MYVI and a old lori.
a / b / e & f is part of issues I'm facing too.

I dont like to "O" any body and also didn't want to have trouble because of $. If he think that he done his job and the $$$ is what he should earn for. We not talking about few hundre thounsand. If few K knowning a personal better than been hit by more bigger hole.
Next time if saw him on road site, he will be the one who need to find way to avoid me, not me

Are you facing probelm with Rich people who don't pay u bill?
