Craigslist workers

We moved into this house to fix and flip 16 months ago. Living here and fixing as we could afford.

My advise for anyone acting as their on gc do not hire people from craigslist! 

Dope heads, drunks, mental problems. I've been through the at least 20 of them in the last 15 months and out of them found one good one. Then tonight the last room to finish I noticed the drywall was taped at the seams but none of the screw holes were done and the cover for the mud bucket was no where to be found!

Next house I'm going to find a way to get decent workers who don't leave a bigger mess than when they started and take some pride in their work.

I got my last guy from the local (small) church.

I talked to the minister one morning and told him what I was looking for and he introduced me to Claudio.  He's been with me for 3 years and I don't need CS any more.
