Tell us your worst experience with contractors...

I thought this would be a fun question to ask. What is your worst experience you have had with a contractor???

Mine is on our last two projects. "Brad" and his crew had done work for us before and did an excellent job. We decided to let them try to handle a complete project, start to finish. While they started on the first project we were a week away from buying another project, also having them do everything on that one.

A week in to the first project they were in over their heads. They quit. Pretty bad huh? Well what made it worse is that we just bought the second project and had no contractors to do it. It turned in to a 6 week nightmare finishing up the first and then doing the second. We put all our eggs in one basket and the handles fell off and SPLAT!!! Egg everywhere, especially my face! Lesson learned and I am thankful to move forward.

Anybody else have any good ones?
