Most of them are borderline retarded and unemployable otherwise.
Is this the thread where we talk about why college is unnecessary and more people should just jump to the trades?

That thread is currently going on over at the PT. Mike "listen to my deep sexy voice" Rowe has informed the lemmings that car dealerships are desperate to pay mechanics 120k/yr. Nevermind that that's complete and utter bullshite.

Is this a one-off??… if so, it’s shite that takes precedent over your project… that’s the way business works(especially this business)
You're getting downvoted, but this is the truth.
Contracting a shitty job. For one, you deal with a ton of folks, many of whom are in trades because they literally can't do anything else. Then you deal with homeowners who think their project deserves attention even if it's bringing in 2% of the revenue for that month.
Two, you're a contractor. I'd imagine it's like telling people you're an auditor (believe me, I know personally here) or a car salesman. It doesn't strike up positive imagery.
Three, there aren't enough contractors. Meaning they get to dictate their time and when they show up. OP, honestly, your project is likely unimportant. You may need to pay more for a contractor who has stellar reviews and smaller client base. If you can afford that sort of thing.

You ever think to shoot him a text? Probably not the case, bit there's always the chance there was a legitimate emergency and you just aren't on his mind right now.
I have been late, it happens especially in BR. Traffic. Will get you every time and it's not easy trying to makeup time when there are multiple appointments. I'll usually call or text, but I can't always get to it for one reason or another. I also try not to give an exact time, I will give a window of time usually an hour or half hour.
