If contractors weren't so bad, I'd be paying them to work for me.

Since they mostly are crooks, I have been forced to do my own projects
thereby saving tons of money. Plus, my home is especially beautiful.

So, I'd like to thank all the Dishonest Contracts because I have
benefitted from them.

Contractors are human beings and, as such, you should investigate them on an
individual basis. Intelligent folks do the same thing with doctors,
lawyers, ..............

Painting with a wide brush is for the feeble minded.

Yeah, but in this case, the brush could be 3 feet wide, and still not be
broad.
I agree w/ the OP.
Unfortunately, DIY, esp outside, is becoming less and less of an option for
me.

But a true funny story:
I got some contractors (day rate) at my place, screwing me slowly but good.
Ahm at the building supply place, that's also screwing me good, totally
confused, and a guy taps me on the shoulder, pointing out various errors in
my ordering process (gutters, parts, etc for the guys already at my place).
I'm really embarrassed, and tell him, Yo, I don't have a g-d, you got a
card??

Turns out to be a local guy w/ a very nice partner, and they have been doing
OK for a while now, reasonable, personable, helpful, etc. Not perfect, but
overall good, helpful guys.

Keep looking. I think smaller is generally better, altho even recommended
guys have been disasters for me.
Mebbe someone will tap you on the shoulder at the building supply...

They have one goal: get as much money as possible for as little work as
possible.

I was one of those contractors for a long time. I have a million
dollar home, drive a new Corvette, have a small airplane (Cessna 172),
fly to Vegas often and spend endless amounts of money and still have
buckets left. You know how I managed this? Because there's a sucker
born every minute. I eventually did some prison time for my wayward
ways but I had my money structured and hidden right. So hey, you're
quite welcome. Retired and loving life!



So why are you screwing around on this pion newsgroup?

With all them bucks, you should have some better toys to keep you
occupied.
