After being screwed out of tens of thousands over the years i'm an azzhole on preordering items, esspecially special order stuff like windows, i get 100% window cost up front before i place the order that way if somebody wants to screw me i'm not stuck with thousands in windows i cant do a thing with since they're ordered for their job. I dont care if it's a freind, contractor, whomever....i've met ALOT of good folks and put my credit/accounts on the line; then they burnt me hard....so if they dont do the 100% window downpay, i got plenty of other things i can do, i'll gladly lose an account/client/assotiate vs losing my azz ever again...my house could've been paid for free and clear with the amount i've been phucked over on in the past 9yrs.
