According to the contract, the renovations were supposed to be completed on the 28th. 🐿️ On the 26th, the contractor said his father was hospitalized and needed half the remaining payment upfront. I worried for a moment, fearing a scam, but I still transferred the money. As it turned out, the work wasn't finished until today. So, in the 18-day construction period, only the bathroom and balcony tiles were tiled. The contractor made excuses and didn't mention his father at all, saying only that the work wouldn't be completed until next week. We re-arranged the delivery date in writing. I won't make things difficult for him after the completion. But I'll never hire someone I know who doesn't have a company for any renovations again. 🥹
