I totally understand where you are coming from. There are fantastic contractors out there. (You sound much better imo) We failed on selecting one. (Subs actually doing the work were great) At the end, we wanted them off the property. I’ll share details in a pm if you would like to hear... Needless to say, we built the garage ourselves
Hense going back to the nephew helping his Uncle out and as he grew older and opted out of any adult education ...he becomes the tradesman and learns as he goes at your expense !!!

The window in my Industry is wide open for anyone who thinks they are skilled and qualified !,,,so we have to weed them out one by one until we find the ones who want to get up in the morning and finish that awesome shower stall , or Kitchen cabinet install or siding , roofing , trim work -etc. ....Those are the ones we take care of very well ! ( its a dying breed if really skilled tradesman ) .

Then you have the client !!! . there are some who know whats involved and how much it costs in todays market and just cut a check and say when can you start . Then you have clients who had work done 5 - 10 -15 yrs ago and can't believe why its so expensive so they cut there own corners and go with cheaper materials and are never happy with the finished product so they nit-pik to lower the balance due !....grrrrrr
And last you have the do-it "your selfers " who would much like to sub out there own people and buy there own materials and just want me to carry the permit !...Nope! , So they end up hiring us to do there remodel because the state requires permitting - contract is signed - job gets scheduled - starting day we go in and they have had other people already doing some work to save money !!! GRRRRR!!!! - so now we get red tagged and have to deal with the client about the fees to correct the work and the fines to get the permitting right again

It gets outta hand sometimes !

my rant is done and my apologies if you've read this far . Its just a rough industry !!

Awesome! You'll prolly change her tires faster than yer undies! Otherwise you could always have them flipped around. I know you don't have her yet, but congrats anyhoo!
