Re: suppliers
You probably had a contract with the supplier, either oral or written, for it to supply all of the treads. If you can prove that the contract existed, and if the time and money that you lost as a consequence of the failure to deliver (the "breach") can be shown to have fairly and reasonably arisen naturally from the failure, then you should be able to recover those consequential damages as well, assuming you and the supplier had not entered in a written agreement excluding liability for consequential damages.
