The problem is that contractors are usually working on more than one job at a time, so juggle these back and forth, so they can rake in the most money. You feel like you are being held to ransom, and trying to get a straight answer out of them...well.

I'm not sure why things are usually so far behind schedule and so unsatisfactory ... captive customers, perhaps? The fact that there are some contractors who are good indicates it's possible to be so ... maybe there should be a course to help them learn, similar to the new courses popping up for doctors on how to be caring. Ohhhh, let's not even go THERE. Hugs to all of you, furred and otherwise.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-3660759120346063412014-10-24T06:12:28.427+11:002014-10-24T06:12:28.427+11:00Guyana-Gyal: Your problems are much more worthy o...Guyana-Gyal: Your problems are much more worthy of being peeved, sad and overwhelmed.
