Just wanted to have some fun with some of the feedback, everyone was helpful, and gave me the cojones to throw him out:
>Give Gatinha a stern lecture on the importance of following instructions (yours, that is) Followed by her taking me over her knee and spanking me for being "uppity".
>Is he planning on painting over the primer? I assume that was the plan.
>If that was me, that painter would be sanding the walls and starting over. My experience with contractor-types is that once you decide their work sucks... you don't want them touching anything else, it just snowballs.
>Dont pay him and demand that he replace materials. The time, energy, money and frustration spent trying to collect anything out of them far outweighs any compensation you'll get. Even worse, a friend of mine fired a guy for showing up drunk, and the guy caught him off guard at the end of the day in a headlock with a gun to his head demanding his day's pay, and then split town. He was in the news later that week arrested for killing a store clerk in a hold-up.
I paid the guy for his eight hours of work and said sayonara. By the way, thanks for all the painting pointers, Tingoes... looks like this will be my new weekend plans.
