Also speaking to the plumbing company I am subbying for and they will be approaching the council to finish the job and paying us direct, or doing it for another civil works company who are in there somewhere as well, so hopefully I will be able to finish the job and get paid in full.
I was paid a 10% deposit when I started, but have spent more than that on materials and labour so far. The payment I was owed was a progress payment and I had all these plans for things to do around the house while I had time off over xmas. Not anymore! I also haven't been chasing work and knocked back a few jobs as I didn't want to over commit with this big project happening.
