he guy's a 'friend', has missed poker and coming back and isn't answering calls.
Maybe he's ill or had a family issue.
Don't be an ass about this and spoil a friendship - follow my earlier advice.
ps: home renovators aren't the same as handymen imo - do some BBB checks and get the quotes BUT get the plumbing fixed NOW!

The BBB is crap. They pestered me to sign up with me for a year. I declined. I recently looked up my company on their site and they gave me a crap review and I NEVER NEVER had any complaints. They are like those thugs that make you pay them for protection and then when you don't they rob you. The BBB is CRAP!!!

The BBB is a racket. You pay them money a lot like $1500 per year or suffer the consequences. My father hated them

If you don't start nothing there wont' be nothing. I'd be nice about it call and leave him a VM saying "Hey man I hope things are ok. I haven't heard from you in a while. My tub is a mess, so if I don't hear from you today or tomorrow I'mma see if I can get somebody else in. I don't want to use someone else because I know you will rock the house, but I don't want to pressure you if you don't have time to fix it."
if he gets mad after that fook him. but I doubt he will. He will either call you and schedule or be glad you took it off his plate.

I don't understand why the friendship is an issue at all. If he wants to end your friendship over something like this, he was never a friend. If you want to end it, well, that's your call but you could just as easily not use him professionally again and go back to playing poker.
Hire someone else to finish the job, as much as he might be a great handyman, he isn't worth jack if he won't finish the job.

I was told by someone once that the BBB was started by Al Capone. I have no idea if this is true but what they do sounds exactly like what Capone did (ie, paid protection).

I am going to call him again today, if he doesn't at least give me a time frame I am going to find someone else, who will probably dick me around even more.
The problem with calling someone else is that I have already bought most of the stuff I need based on what this guy uses. I really don't want to have to haul all that stuff back to Home Depot just because the next guy prefers to use stuff bought exclusively at Lowe's or something stupid.
