In our little commune, we have an intranet bulletin board which allows one to ask for recommendations on various trades. In the three years we’ve been here (seems like 300 years) I’ve asked for help in locating someone to do a job at a fair price. I’ve also asked neighbors and friends.
We just had the windows replaced by a company which has several trucks, a website and a BBB rating of A+, but they don't have an address. That's because they don't want anyone to know where they are. Just a phone number.
I have now made myself a promise that whatever I need done, I will do it myself, which takes forever even on the simple jobs, or I will not get it done. I have yet to find anyone that I would want to hire again. Hence forth and evermore, I promise me that I will only deal with large companies. At least there I can get someone to do a job right once in awhile.
Right now my garage needs a complete update. So, I’ve told my financial controller that I will do it myself, even it kills me. If this blog goes away, you will know it did.
At least I will die with my boots on and a paint brush in my hand.
