In which I complain about contractors

[mrs.jacinthe]

This seems like a simple enough request, for sure. Not even a ballpark? Rude.

The guy who's said he'd do our trim work for our master will not even get me a timeline for starting. He has a job before he can start ours, and he does this part time. He is doing a kitchen and painting a 3 br rental.

All I want is a freaking estimated time frame. Like "sometime in October" or "not until after Christmas". Grrrr.

God I hate contractors.

OMG, right there with you babe. I freaking HATE them!

I don't know HOW any of them stay in business. I bend over backwards and kiss ass for my clients.... Resume? At your service. References? Here you go. Timeline? You got it. Hell, this week I am replacing a dead tree I installed over a year ago. I probably died because the customer didn't water it. There goes any profit I made. And they haven't hired me since then, so I can't even call them a client anymore, but what the hell. I want them to have a tree.

I feel your pain. I guess they must have so much business that they can get away with treating their potential customers like shit.
