I called him and told him not to bother. I would finish it.

He asked why and I told him straight up that he was making more work for me than if I did it myself.

Either his cell dropped the call or he hung up on me. Either way have not heard from him.

Gets worse, I happened to speak with my stepfather, (he's retired and bored), this morning and relayed the story.

He says he can be on the next plane up from FL and will do it for me.

Call the wife and tell her about stepdads offer. She says "no way!, I've seen how he paints".

So now I need to figure out a polite way to tell dad thx but no thx.

I'm gonna get stuck doing this myself, I just know it.
