Maybe not a happy story exactly, but I know you realize (and I hope others realize) that if you had not held out that final payment until you were satisfied (OK, reasonably satisfied or as satisfied as you were ever going to get over this job) it probably never would have been finished. That would be a much unhappier story. The lesson for all - don't pay in advance. Make the final payment fairly substantial, then don't pay it until EVERYTHING is done that is supposed to be done.
