Hi all. I made the mistake of paying a carpenter friend from Mt. Juliet in advance (as a favor) for a crown molding job, and he has been too busy for the last couple of months (!!!) to finish it, leaving my ceiling half finished for my holiday guests to enjoy. It's looking like he is going to stiff me for the rest of the work. Does anyone know a carpenter who would like to either finish the work or pull and redo as necessary? I'm not sure if the work done to date is shoddy, there's an awful lot of putty up there. I paid $400 (labor only, I also paid receipts for materials) for about 200 linear feet, which I feel was generous (again as a favor). Please understand if I want to pay for materials up front and labor upon completion.
