I think there seems to be a common theme among a lot of the builds on here, yours included, there are PBs out there that can put together a great package, start the project, do some really good work along the way, and then go missing for a while, or become "irritated" that you would dare ask any questions or want updates. Looks like your PB has done some good work, but it gets frustrating during, and now especially towards the end, with the lack of communication.
I guess this is not limited to the PB world, but with as busy as they are all now, they are probably over commiting to things, and trying to juggle too much at once. I watch a lot of the under construction threads, just to learn how to navigate the build process, ask the right questions, know what to look out for, and be a better informed customer along the way. You may not even realize, your frustrations probably help out a lot of people looking to do the same thing. It probably doesn't make the frustrations go away you are dealing with now, but I've seen a lot of threads go like this towards the finish line and turn out do great in the end...... slowly but surely as you said!
