My favorite anecdote:

When asked why it was taking so long to install a garbage disposal, the
worker replied: "When they showed me this morning at Home Depot, I thought I
understood."

It's sometimes hard to find an honest workman; give him cookies.


Hi,
Sure I treat them like royalty. Two guys who did our reroofing job(metal
tiles), I gave them a bottle of wine, bottle of aged rye each after
treating them with a backyard BBQ. They completed the job beyond our
expectation/satisfaction. Good ones are still out there but hard to find
because they don't need to advertise.
