I had a guy put some benches around my deck. He showed up with his 14 year old son without the right tools. Didn't measure or make anything square. Left for 3 hours to get parts. Caught him stealing tools from my garage and then he complained that him and his son should each be making at least $100 per hour. I told him I had a masters degree top of my class from a top 20 worldwide MBA program and had never made that much.

If he had showed up prepared he would have made it. In the end I wish I would have done it myself. Crippled old me could have finished it in 5 hours and made it square and saved myself $700. As Biden continues to crash the economy these contractors will start to appreciate work again or go back to stealing car stereos.

Not the time to build yet.
