Why is it you can't get good help?! I swear it's ridiculous. I decided it's been to long and that I needed to start on my remodel project again... well after half a dozen estimates I finally find a guy I like. Seems trustworthy, nice, good prices and so on, plus he'd done a small job for me before and he did great! First things first... he tells me up front he's on a big job and was a week or two from finishing. No problem I can wait for a bit let me know... well 2nd week goes by and we get in contact and he tells me ok I'll start on Saturday, ok no problem I'll have the materials delivered on Friday night. I call in the order several days early... needless to say that is another post but the material get's there Saturday morning and my guy shows up with help loads the material in the house, but tells me he needs another day or so. Well by now I realize another day means 2 or 3 so we say Wednesday... "book it for sure I'll be there 9am Wednesday morning!" 9am Wednesday... I get my mom to go and open the house for him... ummm 9am he's not there 9:10am I get a call on my cell phone "I'm running a little late..." I say "how late" he says "20-30 minutes" ok... I say "my mom's there already she'll be waiting, no big deal." ... called my mom to let her know and went back to work... the day rolls on and about 11:30 I decided to check on the progress... "hey mom how's it going over there?", "no sign yet", me... "WTF! he's not there?!", "nope have heard a word...", "I'll call you right back let me find out what happened". I start calling his cell phone to no avail, no return calls and no answers... that was the last I've heard from the guy. I guess he's got no good excuse so he decided to just drop the job. Why is it so hard to find good help!!! damn it! Well this lit a fire under my ass... I got pissed off, busted out my drill and got after the plumbing job last Friday by the end of the weekend Angie and I had finshed the plumbing and and hung 2 layers of rock... now I have to learn how to float and tape and then I take that money I was going to pay that guy and by something else with it! Funny thing is I feel a sense of ownership in my project now, like I'm building it too and not just paying for an install.
