To be honest I've been too embarrassed to post about this project ever since this thread and seeing the responses. I knew something wasn't right, but didn't know how bad it could get. Shortly after this my "contractor" ran off with the 2nd draw and never returned leaving me to pick up the pieces and find subs myself. This is my first house and my first construction project and man has it been a doozy!

While it's not perfect by any means, I'm finally finished with trades people and will be fitting out the rest myself (paint, caulk, flashing, interior stuffs, etc). I've learned a ton through this process and will go into my next projects with a much more scrutinous eye. Especially here in TX. I'm excited to work on my projects with 4 walls, a clean floor, BADASS lighting, and a 4 post lift once I'm done licking my wounds or the lawsuit reaps rewards (not holding my breath).

Thanks to this community for all the incredibly insightful posts that helped me get through this. I'm excited to finally start living my life in the AG (after garage) era!

Can you go after the "Contractors" License and Bond? Also I think you should ask for Legal Fees and Costs.

I put contractor in quotes because here in TX you do not need a license or bond to operate and even many of the good ones don't have licenses. This is one of the lessons I'm taking out of this project though in terms of doing a more formal vetting of these people if I can.

I will be going for treble damages along with all fees and costs.
