Why would you think that? We paid for this building months in advance, and had no idea who would actually be building it until they got here. They refused to take breaks. They refused offers of food (they may have had their own, don't know, wasn't supervising.)

Were we supposed to tell them to leave?

BTW--we have a bunch of animals on our little farm. None of them work, (unless you count chickens laying eggs, and dogs barking,) and all of them are fat.
