95% completion isn't that bad. The rest looks like insulation, wiring (which you would want to do yourself ) dry walling, painting which you could do yourself. Sucks that people do not finish their work, but the guy could show up and finish once he moves his family. You never know.

Guess this project is a prime example of what not to do, but you are at least structure sound.

Ask around, and maybe your neighbours can help.

Keep thinking positive. :cheers:

Thanks guys. It hasn't been easy but we are almost finished. It is tough to keep calm since we spent so much money and every little thing that is "off" I can't help but think it was the GC cutting corners. I don't think I'm going to worry about liens and stuff until it actually happens - we've kept good records. The contractors have 90 days to file them from when they finished working which will be up at the end of September.

The built-ins that were just installed look awesome so we are really happy about that - the carpenter was really cheap too. I'm hoping to reuse the guy for some other built-in work we need done on the first floor (we have no closet on the entire first floor at the moment!). We also got the exterior painting bid out and that is scheduled for September/October. He also gave us a really good price on the interior windows that are currently bare wood so we are going to have him do those as well. It takes a huge weight off of my back for sure.

We are focused on finishing up the first and second floors and then getting some landscaping in the spring and then hopefully life will be back to normal and I can get back to arcade building and playing games (and finishing the basement!). :cheers:
