If I am correct, it is because I am well rested and fully caffeinated.Upon re-reading, I retract my earlier statement - I think you are correct.

No, you lost the property sale because you were unwilling to move out until the "new" house was move in ready.New York
Likelihood of success if I go to trial?
Lost property sale due to prolonged & incomplete construction project.
8 week project took 10 months. Looking for restitution of $160 G, insurance adjuster offered $10 G
Thank youTaking advice from the other side's lawyer is never a good idea.

No, you lost the property sale because you were unwilling to move out until the "new" house was move in ready.You could have put everything but essentials in storage and gone couch surfing/short term rental route, and completed the sale. The only thing I can see worth complaining about, legally, was the quality of the work done.
Although I am sure you blame the contractor for the failure of your first house to sell - and construction delays certainly contributed to this failure - the contractor is not responsible for your family living situation that made it impossible for you to consider other options so you could close on the house (like a temporary move elsewhere while your new home was finished).Not2cleverRed
I thank you for your input, but kindly allow me to explain in my defense as to why I couldn’t move. I care for my paranoia schizophrenia sister whose worst phobia is the fear of falling; therefore my home was handicap assessable from stairs, shower, and flooring. In addition I operate an import export business in which I house inventory in my oversized garage. To store it elsewhere would be a burden on me & the business with the constant shipping & receiving.
What you describe is not a "defense"; you chose to not move out, and that's on you. You could have rented space elsewhere in between.Not2cleverRed
