I wouldn't fix it either. Someone like that can get fucked.

Anybody who pays a contractor up front before the job is complete is an idiot.

I was talking about final invoice.

That's what I meant, too. If someone pays the final invoice before the work is completed they are an idiot.

In 99% of cases very true. However I've done that tactically.

I noticed an excavator way underestimated for the work he needed to do, so I paid him his original estimate with bit extra and told him I want it all done for that price. Probably paid 1/2 of what he would end up charging if I waited for the final invoice.
