Sounds to me like a walk off. This guy needs a shovel to the face, but it's not the best course of action. He gets in your face again, I'd just drop everything right then and there and tell him to do his own fucking work.

A bit hard to do when he's your ride.

Sorry if I seem like I'm going back and forth here with what I'm saying. I'm just very angry right now.

To clarify: He'll generally refuse to wear gloves/glasses/etc. unless he's cutting metal or working with electricity or something extreme like that. He's cut his hands open several times, but he's stubborn. I had the gloves removed because I was handling wood, which apparently isn't glove-worthy. At my actual job I'm required to wear gloves when handling just about anything from garbage disposal to moving skids.

House renovation isn't his job, this is just a pet project he's doing on the side. On an actual job he's not as reckless, because he's fully aware of labour laws and health and safety laws. But here it's his project, and everyone who's working on this house has volunteered or been persuaded to do it, with exception to things that require actual professionals, like electricity and plumbing. Everything that has to get inspected already has been. Electricity, plumbing, structural stability have all come up with positive results from the town inspectors. I was never aware you needed a permit to renovate a home until now.

We were there for four hours tonight. The only thing we managed to make there in that time was a single shelving unit in the basement. He gives shit directions too. Can't remember the proper names for tools, or even describe them properly half the time. Yelled at me to get the "hammer-machine", by which he meant the nail-gun. Then he got pissy when I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. And he wonders why none of his employees are able to follow his directions.
