I need the house finished. He's on best behavior. I told him any other person would have fired him last week. He seemed to appreciate that I hadn't. I found a stainless steel scrubby I keep that will remove the paint from the shutters, so I called and told him not to buy anything. That was an hour ago.

It's really a cautious feeling with this guy.

Well, the hold harmless will probably be enough to keep him from trying anything. He isn't licensed nor insured, and if he intends upon claiming anything, he will be hit with big fines from the City and County IF I say I hired him as a sub contractor (which is on the HH) He won't mess with me, I think.

Ok. If he gets here before 4 I think he can finish today. That would make about 28 hours he's been on this... he hasn't worked that many hours, but he's played at it. I recall 2 of us finishing a larger home in 2 days, 2 of us that is... but it included sealing the facia too. Oh well. It won't matter once it's finished! (PS The neighbors like the way it's looking )

I've messed up the calendar somehow on another item So confusing. I just can't keep it all together. This stress from the painting is all I can do..and at least I am doing that!
