I'd laugh harder if the whole thing was caused by HVAC. Those guys are the bane of structural integrity. I don't know what they teach them, but I do know it's not "Ask the carpenter before you hack shit out of your way." I've never had another trade do anything careless without talking to me first. It's the norm for HVAC.
If one of my crews did that I wouldn’t fire them, I would beat them to death with an old suction hose.
 
Leap years are like wild cards. They can be added or subtracted as needed


Plumbers are a close second to what I have seen HVAC guys do. Third place goes to the shitty carpenters. And a lot of the shitty architects that can't do a plan for either of those trades
Can’t we all agree it starts with shitty architects
 
You'd have them in a heartbeat if she was sporting the body, looks and sucked like a Hoover. Don't try to say that you wouldn't. Once you're done with her the locksmith and counter top can be changed.
Actually she just said she wants a “mommy make over”. Lol

But the kitchen came first … so I’m spending double for nothing 😂😂
 
Quartz tops..wife changed the whole kitchen etc

So instead of granite which is indestructible we now have pretty white quartz that you can’t put a hot pot on anymore..so much easier 😠

Had granite. Scratch and chip too easy. We talked about the hot pot deal. She said, “I don’t do it now, why would I start?”

I wanted a darker color, she wanted light. We compromised and got light.

They started the bathrooms yesterday. As well as the kitchen went, this has been a total clusterfuck. One sink hole cut in the wrong place, did not account for an electric outlet, backsplashes wrong size. Won’t be back before Monday. Wife has a hen party this Sunday. I’m spending a lot of time loading ammo and (re)cleaning guns. Just trying to stay out of the crossfire.

Homely Depot huh ? :unsure:

Too much of a coincidence to not be. We had the same experience(s). Their supplier is pretty inept. Multiple instances of pieces being cut wrong/backwards. The estimator/guy taking the measurements and the installers were great.

The supplier finally got it right, but a two day install took something like 3.5 or 4 months to finally get it all done.

I hear ya!

When we had ours done, granite, we were picking between 4. There was 1 that I said "Absolutely not!!' I got home after it was installed, guess what we have? :mad:

I place HD in the same class as Walmart. Not on my go to list.

Independent business. Great reviews, in business for decades, etc.

I’ve already told him if he cannot finish Monday, don’t bother coming.

I used a HD or Lowes (don’t recall) contractor once about 25 years ago. Never again.

I used a Lowe's contractor about a dozen years ago for a run of fence about 30 feet in length. Fancy poly-panel stuff.

The guy showed up to get the deets then turned down the job. Too small. Big fence company looking for big fence leads not small homeowner projects.

I bitched at Lowe's about it and they put the screws to the guy to do the job.

He did it, he did a good job but now I'm forever leary of Lowe's contractors and he probably pulled his name from the contractor hat.

Keep in mind that a lot of those "Independent businesses" also farm out to HD and Lowes. If their business is slow, they have to keep their guys/crews working.

We're in the middle of a remodel presently. We've had a contractor and a plumber come in to give us quotes on various things. We basically kicked both of them out after they gave us ridiculous quotes. The Trades have been quite busy lately and the contractors are creatures of opportunity/low hanging fruit. If you're looking to have reasonable work done for reasonable prices, you go to the back of the bus.

Don't be surprised if your guy just doesn't show up.
