Im sorry, but if you cant do something as simple as cut out a square hole behind a 75" TV's footprint without fouling the bracket you mark out to mount, or, envision diagonal braces within 1.5m of a corner in a steel framed dwelling that you were advised of construction type well in advance, Im not sure you should be going it alone.

I felt sorry for the guy and paid him his $600 but as a simple bus driver Im not sure problem solving for a licensed tradie on nearly $300hr, as thats what it equated to, is my responsibility.
Im just glad I'd forgone a days income to be there and be the problem solver or I'd have had to fill the hole left by the expert.

Not sure if that makes me fussy or being expected to do what you quoted and are being paid for is unrealistic .expectations.
Did he live up to the electrions leave a mess code, was a vacuum or broom required after he left.
