Thanks Nelson, I'm no painter at all, but I think i might try to learn after this. I think your's and Dicks advice is very sound and I will suggest that to the new painter tomorrow.
For the first and second time(within 10 days of each other) in the eight years i've been in business I have had two companies not only screw up, but then immediately give me the project(unfinished or screwed up) and say we can't help you any further. There have been times(now is one of them) where I just wanted to give a project back and say "Sorry i didn't give you what i promised, but there's nothing more I can(substitute 'want' here) do. Here's your stuff back. See ya!", but my pride always prevented me from following through. By the end of tomorrow night I will have put in 50-60 hours on a 6 hour project, and may not get paid for it, just so I can try to salvage my reputation. I know that you all do the same thing and probably have fought similar issues, but sometimes i wonder if any of the other tradesmen and women in Lincoln, NE feel the same way. Today, I'd have to say NO! That's probably not true, but I feel like screaming right now, so there you go. Thank God there's a site like this where I can turn to.
