Hi
Having an Oak pitched roof porch built, and an adjoining canopy roof over an adjoining window built.
The carpenter wanted to work on a day rate (as he said hard to price) it has so far taken three days longer then he thought, but the guy has really worked hard, till 7pm one night! On a day rate it's clearly my risk so I was happy to pay the extra days.
However, he has built the porch 6" lower than the wall plate can go for the window canopy, so when the two meet it looks awful! the fascia does not meet on the canopy and the porch roof. also the gallows brackets on the canopy are too big!
The joints on the porch are very good, all pegged, glued and hand made.
He now wants his money, thoughts?
Is it far to make him do it right? the cost would be >£1,000, which does not seem fair, but it looks awful and not as it should be!
thanks
