we are in a rural area so not many guys wanted to come this far to finish what the 1st guy started so my buddy had to hire another less than up n up guy to finish it.. he found guy two was bad about 3 months in and he's been at it for 7 in total. some of the delays were due to weather, but the guy is still a bum.

With my house it all went sideways when I needed to hire a structural engineer. First guy seemed up to par and did his part in a somewhat timely manner but apparently he tried the old rope-a-dope with the city and they called him out on everything that he did erroneously. Once I provided him with the corrections, he ghosted me. I complained to the board of engineers after I couldn’t reach him for several weeks. They straightened him out real quick. I had already hired a second guy who not only took 6 times longer than he said and after maybe three tough rounds with the city he essentially over engineered my house to appease the plan checker. I caught on to what he had done And realized the cost to construct what he had drawn was insane. Lastly I finally found a great engineer and he “value” engineered my house and saved the day and hardly charged me anything. All-in-all probably a 6-8 month delay. This was just the first of literally a dozen (possibly more) poor choices of poor persons that I hired.
