Hired contractor to do project on my basement. He came and did half a day of work which just entailed making measurements, putting down chalk lines, then left. Since then there have been excuses why he hasn't been able to come back. He always answers texts promptly when asking about the plan. Today I asked for my $6500 deposit back. No response. This is at a vacation house six hours from where I live. What would you do?
