Builder problems

I did not see that one coming... Turns out the builder, Mr M., had laid off his team just before starting works on the house (long story). And since he had another project, it looks like mine was put on the backburner. The project should be about finished now ready for the painter to move in and for me to sort out beds, white goods etc. Instead we have 2 MONTHS delay! So for the whole of April, Mr D (the architect) and I tried furiously to get some of the work sub-contracted to other companies. Now we are juggling 5 others builders....While doing this though, I lost faith in the project and lost sight on the cost... And the house is looking very abandonned.
