heres what you do.

Charge them back for every missed appointment, they should give you a call when they aren't going to make an appointment not the other way around.

If they have damaged your fence then they are resposible for the cost of repairs.
Take pictures.

they are to clean the site everyday at no cost to you in man hours. if this is not done and results in the damage of your grass or lawn in any way, that can also be deducted from your bill.

Okay, the two guys just left.

As far as charging back for missed appointments, I can't really say that there were any. They're working outside and I don't technically need to be home. Also, the fact that it's a weather dictated business, I suppose they could say that it WAS raining today. I was busting the guys chops about it being a beautiful day to work today, not too hot.

As far as the fence, I did take pictures and they sort of fixed it while they were here. They said that they would take care of it fully when the job is done.

I'm not sure what constitutes "clean". I mean, they have a big pile of old gutters, extra pieces of siding and stuff, on the one side of my driveway in an area where there really isn't lawn that could be damaged. The driveway itself is full of materials and their scaffolding. The back yard has their cutters or whatever and a couple of ladders. I was kind of pissed about the empty cups and bottles left around.

They say they'll be back tomorrow (of course, I'll be back to work), but it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
