Yesterday (Nov. 6), the house painter, who has done nothing for five weeks and almost nothing for two months, called and wanted to finish the job this morning. And get the last part of his fee. I had just two days ago lined up somebody else to do the last part of the work, but I will tell him never mind if the original contractor, a guy named Fredrick Micken, actually does finish. I have serious doubts, but however this turns out I will definitely let you know.

Update: The job was started in late July, and finished in Nov. 27, 3 weeks after his last promise to do it right away. 4 months to paint a house and build a ramp. They probably spent one month on the actual work.
