Okay the THRID day of painting and I am at a CONFUSION point...
I have hired this carpenter thru an ad that he had online/locally and today... He told me last night that he would be here at Noon to do the work that I requested for him to do toay (strip the paint from front door) and strip the paint from the window for the wall in plant room and repaint sea green...
It is now 220 p.m. and I have not heard a PEEP from him, nor is he answering his phone/cell... I have never hired a "carpenter" before so do not know how to proceed from this point?
Just sitting here confused So I am guessing that all that will be done will be the PAINTING that I am doing myself?
The wierd thing is the carpenter gave me a ride last night for groceries... And to make room in his little truck he left his tools here (bandsaw and stuff) in my storage room/mud room and there they sit???
WTF?
What's that saying? If you want to do it well? Best? Do it yourself? BLAH
Well back to PAINTING I go... WHICH I AM DOING MYSELF and well I might add...
Oh CONHFUSION REIGNS
blah
Well, if he ever does show up, tell him to take a hike, that you've hired someone else who is RELIABLE. He's probably not insured. Be wary of solo tradesmen. If they mess up, you have NO recourse. Go union or try the Handyman Connection. Don't know if there's one in Nanaimo, but in Victoria, there's one. As far as his belongings, whether or not you get in contact with him, give yourself a deadline (15 days or I claim them), sort of thing.
