You got the deal. Now good luck getting anyone to work on it.

I should probably just file this rant with Captain Obvious.

In this current environment, getting any sort of contractor is hard to say the least. I don't know if its the booming house prices and everyone fixing up or government handouts acting as a disincentive to work.

Just to name a few examples that come to mine. Two of my tile guys are both booked out for two months. My handyman quit. My lawn service quit. My landscaping guy is booked out for a month. Countertop installer is quad booked all month. On top of that actually getting materials is like pulling teeth. Ordering flooring, I'm being told to order 30 days out. Windows are 6 weeks out. Just like the rest of the economy, a lot of things are out of stock or backordered. It's frustrating what is already a pretty high stress activity.

How are the rest of ya'll getting on?
