I did not put this in the home improvement section because it could easy be about any trade .
Has anyone looked at what Carpenters are charging for repairs ???!!!
How can anyone even begin to afford it . Where in the hell do people get off charging the amounts they do ? Half of them have no friggin idea what the hell they are doing . I have forgotten more than most of these clowns will ever know about construction .
It amazes me that we now have all these "specialist carpenters "
An example is finish carpenters,framning carpenters , siding carpenters, residential carpenters or commercial carpenter . When I joined the trade there was just one carpenter . He better know how to do it all or you did not dare call yourself a carpenter .
My cousin is so happy she found a carpenter that is willing to work for only $45 bucks an hour ! ONLY??? I could do more than this clown if I was in a wheel chair and blind .
It ain't brain surgery . You put a nail in a piece of wood and hope it does not bend over on the way in .
Its like calling yourself a building contractor . "IF" you cannot take a house or building out of the dirt and do every job along the way that is involved in the building process , I do not consider you a contractor . A building contractor had better know how to do it all or he ain't no contractor . Thats what you pay him for . To oversee the total project . Otherwise he should be fired and you can just hire people yourself and save 20% .
Does anyone know how to even read a framing square or "cut in" a hip roof without climbing on the roof to take measurements ?? .Anyone know how to step a framing square on a rafter ??
Don't even get me started about stairs .Most carpenters do not even know that all risers in steps have to be withing 1/8 " of each each other and you are allowed no more than 3/8" total variation in the total risers added together .Not much room for error .
Now I don't mind paying for good work done correctly , but I got a real hard time paying big bucks for "some wanna be" to learn on my time .
Now I can take a person off the street , maybe even a monkey and in a week I could have him framing walls on his own . Does that make him a carpenter ??? Not in my book .
Do you have any ideas how many windows replacement jobs I have been called out on because the owner said the guy that installed them said the sliding side was too small and sent wrong from the factory ? I just smile and tell them the window might work better and not fall out when you try to open it , "IF" the carpenter he hired had put the window in with the top up instead of down .
Ok.... so maybe my underwear is too tight today , but this really pisses me off
I'm going to go find my bottle of rum !!!
