I think that what we have here now is a lack of communication between the customer and the producer. At this point it may be best to keep it in emails, and try to work things out between you two guys, and if it persists, then openly complain. I know that I've fallen behind on my work a couple of times this year due to deaths in the family, and my customers have always been very understanding because I always communicate between them. When you don't talk, then people get pissy, and rightfully so, each end has a responsibility to deliver what was paid for, and expect that things don't go totally right.
Douglas, I wouldn't expect you to chill, however, you've probably made your point that you're upset, and I totally agree with you.
Logan, I'd keep in contact with him every day to make sure he knows where you are, and if need be, take pictures....the one thing that people don't have any tolerance for is being lied to. If you tell the truth, then things become the past...but if you lie to people, it's going to be your future, and you'll have to deal with it eventually.
Take care all.
