Another week has gone and the contractor has given excuses for not being back, I am at the point of contacting a lawyer due to the delays as winter approaches, Still hoping that the contracted work will be accomplished as it will cost me less than trying to get the money out of the contractor.

For SpaceNut re #351
Thanks for telling us of the delays... It's possibly too late now, but escrow is the proven way to deal with questionable contractors.
I've seen it used by a large corporation. The contractor wanted money up front, and the corporation wanted to see the finished software product. What they agreed upon was an escrow account. The contractor could see the money, but it wasn't released until the work was done.
This may not be the only contractor you hire, so this might be an expensive learning opportunity.
PS ... the attorney's fees come out of the judgement against the plaintiff.

gw Johnson logged in but his internet connection went down a few minutes later.
Weather is calm in Waco to it isn't weather.
gw was able to reconnect and we covered a number of topics. Along the way, GW showed me the Merlin Engine image in Wikipedia. I was struck by how closely it resembles the Merlin engine model we are using in the OpenFOAM topic.
I can easily imagine the original builder of the model tracing the outline of the engine from an image like the one in Wikipedia.
The shape is almost identical. The dimensions of the model may be different from the dimensions of the actual engine.
GW will continue looking for details. He did find what looks like the diameter of the throat.
