And finally… give and break

And finally... give and break

Tradesmen who destroyed a concrete driveway after their client refused to pay them said they were left with no other choice.

Damian Hallett and Jamie Sommerville from the Australian concrete contractor Clare Concreting lost their cool when a homeowner informed them he wouldn’t pay the last $3,500 of his $13,500 bill.

The labourers were seen in footage captured outside the home digging up a driveway with a bulldozer. It took the police’s involvement to resolve the heated dispute.



Damian was reportedly seen telling the stunned homeowner: “I’m ripping the whole f****ing lot out.”

“It’s not going to help anybody,” the homeowner replied.

“It’s not going to help me by leaving it here,” Damian responded.

The tradesman added: “I don’t care, I’m pulling this out.



“At the end of the day, you owe me $3500.

“I’m pulling this out, you’ve had your chances.”

The homeowner was seen continuing to argue, to which Damian counteracted: “You said you’re not going to pay me the money.

“If you’re going to pay me the money I’ll stop, if not I’m going to bulldoze now.”



However, the men were eventually able to come to an agreement.

Taking to his Instagram account, Damian posted a follow-up message, writing: “In relation to this, we have been paid in full on the day.

“Thanks to South Australian police involvement.”
