How to get workmen to finsish work

TripleH

I think for me, unless I know the person doing the work, I would always expect to keep a retainer and pay in installments. Any firm refusing that and/or demanding payment in full up front will not get my custom.

I know not much use to the op. but more so for other users.

Failing all that, a cattle prod? (to answer the question raised)

Well, evidently he's motivated by threats of violence. Call him up and say if he doesn't complete the job, you'll smash his face in?
