Default '97 Accord SE brake pressure/engagement problems

Hello, like the title suggests I'm having brake issues. For one, at what seems like arbitrary times the brakes will seemingly engage and the pedal becomes almost impossible to push down.

Yesterday morning however, I went out to my car that had been parked for hours and got in. I had no brake pressure at all. The pedal went all the way to the floor before I could get anything at all.

It might be relevant it might not but I recently had my pads/rotors replaced at a small local mechanic. They spent over an hour trying to replace my brakes and these issues showed up afterwards so I strongly suspect them of doing something wrong.

Anyways, any and all input or guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

A few things come to mind.

I would try to re-bleed the brakes. If not luck and the pedal goes to the floor......replace the mater cyl ASAP, as you know if that happens as you are out on the raod....you and those around you are now in danger. Not a good thing.
