Rant about contractors that don't show up. Must be millionaires that don't need work!

I'm confused.

Blue collar worker trying to make a living. So many people on these forums say go into trades! Seems like you don't want to pay the people in the trades....

Good, fast, cheap. Pick two.....

Some of y'all don't have a family and friend circle of blue collar workers and it shows

I can't think of a single thing I'd ever need in the trades that I don't have a family member or close friend that doesn't do it 🤷‍♂️

Some of us would rather have it done correctly....

Doesn't sound that way, sounds like y'all keep getting screwed.

Years ago I was talking to a contractor on a large, high dollar home remodel. Said the folks couldn't visualize what they wanted in the kitchen. They'd had him build it out, then tear out, twice so far, with different appliances and arrangement.
I asked wasn't that driving him crazy, he said that with the premium they were paying him and his crew, he could stand it as long as they could.
More recently, a neighbor worked as contractor on a huge Buckhead home remodel, said the wife did the same thing, had the kitchen built out, looked at it, said "nope", tried new design. His crew had already been on that job over a year. Think that one took three years to complete.

It's unbelievable... and I've seen it way more times than I should. It's Democrats letting their wives drag them around..

You could save a bunch of money if you knew how to do it all yourself.

Not if you make enough money, then she'll hire a real man.
