Another scenario – their contractor took their money – spent it on other stuff -and abandoned the job. They are cutting their losses.

Not saying that’s happened here. But it’s within the realm of possibilty. We considered cutting our losses when our first contractor abandoned with lots of our $$ in his pocket. But it was before framing – so no wood to sell.

(Yes – I have contractor issues. But they are based on real, expensive, life lessons.)
