Defendant said it's common practice, and that he has 4 other crews in

crews are subs, or that they also came from craigslist.

So, is it common practice for decent painters to hire help from
craigslist?

Probably more of a desperation choice. Most good contractors know
plenty of good help.


And aren't there "deficiencies" that can't really be repaired? Mistakes
that absolutely shouldn't have been made. I can't think of any right
now but I think I've seen them.

Most of you won't build your own apartment building, but if you
remodeled or put on an addition and you had a general contractor who
hired a painting contractor who hired a new guy from craigslist, would
you be ticked off?

I'd be ticked if he did a crappy job. I would probably not know that
until too late. It is the responsibility of the contractor to hire
qualified help.
