I am glad to read that you confronted, and stood up for your house.
As someone who has been in and out of the trades for awhile I have seen both sides of the story several times and I have seen a lot of contractors that will push the homeowners to see how much they can get away with. Most of the time as soon as you {pardon the term} piss on their boots and say enough they will get inline and do as expected.

What is WITH guys thinking they can bully people? I feel for you because I have been in the middle a few situations this week that have my blood absolutely boiling - jerks thinking they can get away with bullying me! My problem is not crying but in coming back at 110% of what they gave me because I have a little temper when I am in these situations. It makes me act in a way I am not proud of and I don't appreciate that.

I try to put things into a larger perspective and it usually helps me calm down. Bulldogs are very helpful in gaining that perspective. :) Feel better!

P.S. The temperamental part of the me says "$@(% that guy! Give me his $*##%-ing phone number!" :angel:

My first thought was...what kind of respectable contractor doesn't know the difference between pine and oak? I guess the kind that have bumper stickers that say..."Nice Legs! What time do they open?"

What a jerk. That is why you give them half up front and the last portion when completed. Contracts are a beautiful thing.

Gosh I am the underspoken one myself but in my head I hope I would go off and say what you did. Good job! I think once somebody gets me pissed enough to cry they would regret it but up until that point I have a very hard time also telling people what to do etc. I hope you have changed his attitude towards the job and he is better from here on out. If not, fire him and get [MENTION=2152]Kim Sebastian n Oliver[/MENTION]'s hubby to come over and finish it up. ;) DO NOT pay another dime until he finishes.

Geesh...what a bleepedy bleep. I am also one that when someone treats me like that I get mad and go off...not fun nor does it feel good afterwards. I woulda had his head on a stick. lol. BUT you did the right thing by talking to him firmly after you had calmed down. Everyone is right in that you are paying him for a job and he needs to complete it to your satisfaction.

Good for you! :hug2:
