I cannot stop crying I am so PISSED 
. First of all the contractor came in today, totally unprepared. He knew he had to move a 300lb vanity that didn't come apart up a flight of stairs and that he needed an extra guy. He shows up on time but then he is like, oh i gotta go get this guy, no **** sherlock, i told you this umpteen times. Then he comes back and complains the entire time they are moving it. I told him this thing was extremely heavy, he said no problem.
Second he has been bitching about getting more money but I am not paying him his balance until he is finished, the contract I signed with him, states half up front, balance when finished. He is doing a little extra work for me but regardless, he stated he could wait. So I said since you need more materials, you'll have to go to Lowes, (I have a giftcard) which is 20 minutes further away than Home Depot. He says no problem. He is gone 2 hours to get the stuff to hook up my new toilet, vanity sink stuff and faucets, and trim including shoe mold and baseboard, I said I wanted stainable OAK. So he gets back from this trip, all pissed off he spent $100 in gas, Lowes wasn't helpful, he yelled at his guys that stayed behind that they did more than they were supposed to do (they installed some switches for me because they had nothing else to do, I am paying for them to be there what did he want them to sit with their thumbs up their a$$?) Then he started yelling about the faucets I picked out didn't come with some additional plumbing that was needed. Ok so he storms out to go to Home Depot to get the other stuff. I start to uncontrollably cry when he left. I am so distraught that he yelled like that in front of me and I feel horrible because it is all stuff he agreed to do but i still feel its my fault.
Third and what keeps me crying is, I look at the molding he got, its effing PINE. I am so pissed. Now i have to face him when he gets back from Home Depot to say dude you got the wrong stuff now you have to spend another $100 (its really not) in gas and return that stuff and get the right stuff. I don't want to face him and I asked his guys to tell him and they are like nooooooooo, we aren't doing that, he'll get all mad.
I am honestly so stressed and distraught over this. I am the one who has to tell my husband this and he doesn't take this stuff well. Chalk it up to the hormones but I desperately need my bulldog to cuddle with and calm me down but he is in the crate and I can't do it

Can't you have your husband talk to your contractor over the phone. That's what I would do, I would call Dave and say you have to deal with this because I just can't handle it. Or if you can try to just break it down to him yourself, like LOOK this is what I asked for and this is not what I have gotten, fix it! It SHOULD be that simple (I know it isn't always in reality), you paid someone to do a specific job and it is his responsibility to do it properly. Sorry you can't have Bear cuddles, I know that always helps
