The house renovation cost is mostly covered by First sister and her husband. They made the deal and everything with the contractor. She would transfer the money for the payment into my account and I would give it to the contractor.
Yesterday she called me, asking the progress. She asked me to send pictures. Turn out the contractor asked for 50% of the final payment. The work is still not completed and there are many things not being done. The final payment would be made full once it's all done and they're satisfied with the work.
So she told me she's not paying until they get the job done. Fine by me, I'm just the messenger. The workers work since morning today. Maybe they plan to complete everything today.

Workers not turning up or doing their job on schedule is common everywhere.

That has to be the worst business to get in. Workers suck, the amount of money in costs, then you get bad leaders all can go bad quick. Its one business you have to stay on top of it the real reward is if people actually get done what they want done. The worst thing this country ever did was showcase how you could rob people into jacking up prices. You welcome world why your rent is so damn high. The positive is lets freaking stop this nonsense, we all know the game.

It is a slippery slope giving contractors money before they complete the job. I had one here who I paid because he was 99 percent done...Guess what? he never completed the last part and didn't put the thresholds in...He live s in Maryland, not close to here, I knew I would never see him again.

Your sister makes sense. One has to go according to the contract and make rest payment only when the work is finished in time and done upto expectations. Hope all goes well

@prinzcy He is smart to know that who is the real boss. It would be good for him to not upset the boss

Yes. They must finish the project first before they get the full payment.
