When do you dump your contractor?

Our contractor has taken over 5 months to renovate our 800 q. ft apartment. He said it would be 2 months. This might not seem like much but we are now living in the basement apartment with a premature infant, after a total of 9 weeks were spent in hospital. Every week he does one more thing after we call and threaten him. Every week he lies about when he will be here again. Every week he says he will finish. It would just be a few more days of work to complete. At the moment we owe him a little less than it would take to have someone else finish the job. Any suggestions? Should we just get someone to complete the necessary projects for move in?
