My neighbor's fence repair took 6 weeks and I need a second opinion

Last month my neighbor and I split the cost to replace the shared fence between our places on 182nd St. He hired his cousin who quoted us $1,800 total, said it would take a weekend. Six weeks later the thing is still not done, the gate swings open on its own, and the wood already looks warped in two spots. My neighbor keeps saying give it time, but I paid $900 cash up front and have nothing in writing. I walked over with a tape measure last Tuesday and the posts are only 5 feet apart while every other fence on the block is 6. Has anyone dealt with a half-finished shared fence or know who I can call to inspect it without wrecking the relationship?

Oh PLEASE, it's been six weeks, not six months.
