re: UPDATE: I was warned, by many on this board, about JIM'S Firearms

I had the following happen with a contractor:

Me: "I need this work done within 2 months, a customer needs it no later than that date."
Cont: "I should have it done in a week or 2."
2 weeks later:
Me: "2 weeks is it ready?"
Cont: "No Give me another 2 weeks"
Rinse, repeat.
Me: You gonna have this done on time?
Cont: (Actual quote) "I could lie to you and tell you I'll have it in 2 weeks, but I won't."
I hung up and call the customer and he says he'll wait 2 more weeks. I call the Cont. and he says hell have it and will call. He never calls , the customer walks.

I don't call the Cont. 3 weeks later:
Cont: I got that ready for ya.
Me: Too late, the dude walked.
Cont. Well who's gonna pay me?
Me: Not my problem here's the guys number.

Cont calls me back : " Guy told me he would pay me if he ever needed that work again."
Me: "well, if you want to get paid, hang on to it."
