Are you a home contractor? Have you ever agreed to do some work that you really couldn't do? But you figured, it couldnt be that hard...or you thought you would be able to find someone to work alongside you who knew what to do?

But basically, this contractor here today is trying to fit sqare pegs in round holes...and when it doesnt work he just uses "force"...his work is rough and will have to be redone. **For example, cutting countertops with a dull blade so it came out quite jagged, he says...no one will really see that ,u prbably will put your countertop appliances near here anyway** He also does not have supplies, constantly gone for little things. And has broken stuff. Though he came with recommendations he is not working for me! Shld I give him time to perform better or just axe him after 2 days?
