Discussion

Compromise is the answer! A quick phone call, both parties bleed a little. I'm sure there is middle ground somewhere.
I couldn't have this hanging over me especially at this time of year.
It would seem both client and contractor are at fault to some degree.
Which is the route I am trying, but SWMBO is now refusing to compromise as "it's the principle"I couldn't have this hanging over me especially at this time of year.

Happy f
king Christmas.I didn't realise the time difference involved on my previous reply.
While the builders behaviour might seem contradictory I'll make a point from a contractors POV that isn't intended to inflect upon the rights and wrongs of the dispute in discussion here; Many people in my position will simply walk away from knockers as you've only got so much time available and time spent fighting those determined not to pay can be very unfulfilling and wastefull. That doesn't mean you don't feel wronged and neither does it mean you've forgiven and will forget, just that the potential argue time requirement is not cost effective when you could be utilising it elsewhere. sometimes you'll even walk away despite feeling very angry because you feel things might turn ugly very quickly and you'll be easily painted the bad man by someone manipulative.
If the builder has hit on bad times he may feel quite strongly that people who have refused to settle in full have a hand in this.
