Write it up something like this:

if contractor has not finished after ten rainfree working days he
forfeits the remaining two thirds of the contract price and homeowner
hires another contractor to complete the work!

Write it like that and the jacklegs will back out real quick!

No you idiot. OP had to call about 20 people to even get someone to
look at the job. What do think you are building, Hoover dam? It is
not a "contract" until both sides agree - shove an offer like that in
front of somebody, and what they will be doing "real quick" is walking
away from the job in the first place!

Just how often do you claim you have been able to get a contractor to
agree to that clause on a small inside job (which has nothing to do
with rain-free anyway)????

skeptical,
