Well, you'd lose the bet. I am polite and respectful to people as a
rule. I give people the benefit of the doubt. You've shown yourself
to have little knowledge and a strong opinion. I don't respect such
behavior.

The advantage to Home Depot is that if the contractor
screws up you just have to sue Home Depot and they aren't going
anywhere.

You base your selection of contractor on whether you can sue them?
How come this doesn't surprise me?

I'd think that basing the choice on there being an extremely remote
chance of having to sue the contractor would make more sense. Think
about it.

If an independent contractor screws up they usually
disappear, change names go bankrupt etc and homeowners are out of
luck. It's sad that you feel a plumber deserves $100/hr. Find out
how much your kids' teachers make and then decide which job is more
difficult and worthy of that ridiculous rate.

My buddy was a HS teacher - when he retired five years ago he was
making northwards of $80K a year. Homes average about $700K. In case
you haven't figured it out yet, Sparky, I live in an expensive area.

Anyway, you have nothing more to offer, so have fun, do well, bye.
