Bob, I should have gone with my instinct and contracted with you to help me out with my plan. 

 

I ended up selecting someone because you were on vacation for a couple weeks.  That other designer overpromised, way under delivered.  They sold me the song and dance about how hard they worked, would work weekends for no extra to finish up my design. 

 

After paying, I waited 3 weeks for the first edits to be completed by the designer.   A wasted three weeks !   After selecting a builder and notating the changes on PDF outputs, I contacted the designer regarding schedule.  They they could fit me in on a particular day, great !  Not so much.  They missing their own imposed promise date by a week and a half, then canceledthe contract, unfinished.  Four an a half wasted weeks, $1600 flushed down the drain, unfinished design.  Most of the changes I could have done myself, but elected to pay someone.  What a mistake.  In the four weeks wasted, waiting, I easily could have done everything.

 

The project was canceled by the designer, unfinished, but the designer willingly took my money for the hours they "worked" !.

 

Again, I should have gone with my instinct and contracted with you to help me out with my plan.

Hi Billy:

Thanks for your comments.

Having " old-school " values; I would never think of making a promise I couldn't keep.

Pretty sad that there are people around that don't embrace those values

Unfortunately, in the field of design and planning, it is not uncommon to come across performers who make great promises, and then break all deadlines and leave the work unfinished. The next time a choice arises, it is better to really wait for a proven vacation specialist than to take a risk with the first one that comes along. It's like finding a reliable and proven resource for entertainment, where everything works honestly and transparently, for example at  https://icasino-reviews.co.nz/inclave-casino/ where there is convenient authorization and useful reviews for a good pastime. The main thing is not to give up, if you have basic skills in the program, then it is better to finish everything yourself or wait for Bob.

Did that designer at least give me the source files of the project after the contract was terminated?
