BC,

Sorry to hear about your contractor trouble. How sad, we have to put up with this "Extortion", that's exactly what I consider it also. We have the same problem here in the midwest, I supose it's an epidemic through out the country. Every contractor wants a new deisel truck out of the deal. I'm hoping we slide into a ression and have a housing downturn, that way they will work for "Honest" wages.......or go hungry! (I'm building in the spring, and am going to play general)

Good luck

Grinder,

I'm a union electrician, I work for a honest wage, and get paid by the hour.

"Get some references for pet sake"........I should say so, I work with hundreds of they every day!

"Can't you find a man who takes pride in his work?".....Why yes I can, I know a handful. If you were in the building trades about 40 years ago, you could say that just about everyone took pride. You can't say that today.

"The cheapest price is not always the best price!"......You don't say.....well, I never did.

I don't want to turn this into bashing, my point was an "Honest" wage. I don't mind paying a plumber $30 an hour, or a framer $25. What I do mind is paying a plumber $8000 dollars....he's done in a day and a half, with about $1000 worth of materials, end's up taking $7000. Or a roofer who charges $7,500, with about $1500 in materials, gets done in a day and after paying his spanish speeking workers, pockets $5,500.

If he walks off the job....he don't get paid.

Grinder...Nice carpentry on that lodge of yours No hard feelings!

Glad to see you found a good one BC!
