I had a huge argument earlier with the landscaping gardener because I was not satisfied with the process and removed the waterproofing (so from the scope of work). He then freaked out and kicked the curbstones with full force, but they held up really well.
He also said: "Just because Google says so doesn't mean you should believe every sh** on the internet."
I replied: well, not only Google says that.
I have to be fair and say that he had already delivered some materials (curbstones, sand, and cement), so I had only 2 options:
- either I pay for his materials and end everything
- or he does the remaining work
I chose option 2, as long as he does the work correctly, I can live with that.
I am the kind of person who does not immediately call everything off, maybe he has some private problems and reacted that way, it's not my problem really, but I try to show some patience. I could also smell alcohol, he had finished work earlier. (Well, still I find it strange to go to a customer like that.)
