By the way

I know: ""Look in a phone book dipshit." "This is a football bored and we have a big game this week, asshole."

They blaze on breaks too. Shocking? Sure but that's the work world today. I know this guy whose son works at a tech company and most of the workers vape and smoke weed @ work. It goes on a lot. I just don't report it on the boreds

how can you *really* tell if your painter blazes on breaks?

Painters (and drywallers) usually prefer to drink. Think: Sarkisian, Steve

HTH

Take this crap to Unleashed where it belongs.

Too old school?

No, perfectly timed.

Needed - Construction company/contractor for major home addition/renovation. Assuming at least a few of you degenerates actually own homes, any recommendations would be appreciated.

Whatever. Fuck off.

Any references would be appreciated.

When I look for a contractor, I look for a chew-on-nails, lunchpail type of guy.

I'm getting a glory hole installed on my back door.

My buddy flips houses and we always joke about him installing 'custom glory holes' in his projects. That joke never gets old every 23rd time.

Look, just accept that you're going to end up hating your contractor and you'll be fine.

... and make sure he drives a Jay Buhner truck jacked 6' off the ground

You never said where... Seattle?

My experience is that 10% of the contractors are great, and they have year long waitlists.

The remaining 90% are no better than what you could do yourself, normally worse... most of them learned their trade during the bubble from 2000-2007, where few people were checking quality because everybody was just flipping the house -- and their poor quality shows.

My single biggest piece of advice is avoid people that haven't been in business since before 1999, check local references, and expect to be put on a waitlist if they are good. Good people are in demand. Those that don't have a waitlist -- there is a reason they don't have a waitlist.
