Friends as in people doing a reno who have used him for various jobs including hanging doors, skirting etc, not a friend of a friend. And they're as much of a perfectionist as I am.

Sucks to be him though. We haven't paid and we're just going to take off however much it costs to fix from his bill. Our builders, who are competent, are taking a look tomorrow.
