Bill, I regularly handle these kinds of disputes. It sounds like this Contractor may have violated your consumer protection rights under a couple of Ohio laws, and you may be able to recover 3x your actual damages, a refund, and possibly your attorney fees. Please contact me as soon as possible at 216-236-8202, or via email at [email protected].
Do not "self-help" yourself to his equipment in the meantime. You do not want to do anything that could lead to liability on your own part.
