If you are really worried, call this person in advance and set the record straight: you absolutely need the downpayment one day earlier (or need the money in cash) to buy materials. You made a mistake, but you shouldn't pay for it, nor be shy. On a side note, if we make a deposit of a bad check in Mexico, the bank will make a substancial charge to the issuer. If you have a credit card account, perhaps you are protected against bouncing. Ask your bank. HTH ===== _____________________ www.alberto-tirado.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
