[quote=Anonymous]Op here- All very good advice- the actual money we gave builder was 110 toward 160k poolhouse.  We had 20% left to pay off. He took two draws to get to that all with fake receipts. 
    However the electrician  called wanting 16k- the plumber and hvac guy want 30k- brick company 4k - insulation company -3k- lumber 3k- and who knows who else will come after us. So 50K roughly billed to us. 
   And the two new builders who came in all around 125-160k to finish.  Apparently the original builder completely underestimated the cost- which know we have determined is because he was underselling in the end to get the job and get the down payments for his addiction. 
    So we have potentially 150k to get this finished (that’s the very best case). 
   It makes me sick to think about.
   
  We have cut where we can but all the construction items are costing more.  And the builders are all charging us ridiculous fees to come in middle of job. It’s a liability they say. 
   I started to push through on my own- but I work tough long hour job- and honestly so much was coming up I didn’t know and taking more time than I had-  like did we get the set back approval- did the loft get approved (open ceiling not really loft)- o didn’t even now what all this meant - so we feel like a builder is needed.
  That’s why I have so much resentment. It is a terrible expensive mess.  But we are now not even sleeping in same room snd haven’t talked since xmàs day.  We tried to out on a show for the kids of being happy that day.
