WHY CAN'T CONTRACTORS JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO????

[Tony Wooldridge]

I first must apologize for screaming at all of you in the title but if you have any experience or can relate to the title at all you know why I am frustrated.  This is nothing more than a venting session on my part and an opportunity for you all to share your frustrating experiences as well!  

How can contractors (not all of them are bad, I know, I just need more time to find the good ones!) stay in business running their businesses this way? It is the classic I will be there on Tuesday to begin sheet rocking your project followed by me receiving a text informing me my helpers want to attend a Halloween party so I cannot make it Tuesday but will be there 1st thing Wednesday morning. I text Wednesday afternoon only to find out that they will not be making it yet again. My GOSH!!!!! Then last night after multiple attempts of trying to get a hold of the contractor he finally informs me he can finally start this Sunday as he will finally have the help. WHY NOT JUST TELL ME THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE????? Anyway, this is my first flip so I am a newbie, make no mistake, I know I have made plenty of mistake and errors up and til this point in my flip but hey that is the price of admission into the wonderful world of REI!

So with that said, please share your frustrating stories to take my mind off my current (temporary) bump in the road. Thanks for allowing me to vent. And as always here is to wishing you all a successful 2017 in your REI ventures!
