Date: November 11th, 2023 3:20 PM Author: milky irradiated tanning salon mother It is insane out there. Is this still because of COVID or not enough quality workers in construction? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5442853&forum_id=2:#47045054) |

But try to be your own gc and you’ll want to slit wrists. |

Date: November 11th, 2023 4:28 PM Author: Federal adulterous home pervert ime contractors fuck up on time constantly, but the contracts never actually hold them to anything and clients looking to avoid paying are usually bitching about stuff that makes them seem unsympathetic (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5442853&forum_id=2:#47045247) |

Date: November 11th, 2023 4:35 PM Author: Saffron bisexual roommate The bill dodgers crawling around on their hands and knees looking for defects are definitely a stock character in this world.
By the way, if you're a contractor who tolerates things like leaving piss bottles and trash in wall cavities, you are among the dumbest people on the planet. When owners see that, they instantly think you're scum and start scrutinizing everything. You never recover from that. |

Date: November 11th, 2023 4:45 PM Author: Federal adulterous home pervert I got a call from an old lady once who wanted to avoid paying for her entire barn because she had to wait a week or two on them to finish up after having some issues with rain and not being able to pour the concrete, she not only wanted to not pay the rest but wanted her initial payment back (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5442853&forum_id=2:#47045288) |

Date: November 11th, 2023 5:01 PM Author: drunken azn The vast majority of residential contractor disputes are the client's fault
People are very dishonest and stupid and demand things that are wrong and want things to be done incorrectly and then blame their contractor for it
Same phenomenon as the vast majority of lawyer-client disputes are the client being shitty and stupid and dishonest and trying to avoid paying, not the "sheisty lawyer" stereotype |

Date: November 11th, 2023 3:36 PM Author: Concupiscible confused degenerate Cr. We just talked to a GC about a mid-6-figure reno. He said he could probably start in 18 months. I obviously questioned it and he said I’m welcome to call others - it’s all of them. Yet we have to lick dirty client asshole for deals.
Maybe when we incentivize people not to work, they won’t want to work? |

Date: November 11th, 2023 3:53 PM Author: laughsome area All those guys standing outside Home Depot have done before whatever you are asking the GC to do. Just go round them up and offer them $30/day and you’ll be set.
You think ethnic business owners in this country worry about permits and licensed workers and waiting 18 months to start?? Nope they just round up a crew, go buy some 2x4s and get cracking.
Stop acting like you live in 1989 America. 2023 America will skin you |

Competence is a lot bigger of a potential concern than honesty when it comes to contractors |
