Muthaf***ers

And then there's the idiots who can't paint their own house!

I'm just kidding of course. Painting is a giant pain in the arse. I'm now writing this between coats! I'd pay somebody to do it, but I know I'll be dissatisfied. When I do it, it'll be perfect.

It's hard to find a good contractor. I do most everything around the house myself, but on occasion we need a real pro. One of my girlfriend's best friends from highschool is awesome. He's good and fast. And when it comes time to pay him, he says don't worry about it. We have to track him down to send us a bill!

Yeah, friend had her cabinets done and I think she paid around that. She said the worst part was how gross it was when she took down the old ones. There must have been rats in the house at one point since there was a lot of droppings.

For that kind of money you could buy the supplies and equipment, then do it yourself. Then get the same money from someone else to do their cabinets, paying for the equipment after covering their supplies. Free tools. Third job you'd pay off your own supplies and make a few dollars to boot!

LOL

note the word "average"

most tradespeople i know (and i know a lot) are only tradesmen because they failed at everything else. i.e. they are tradespeople because its the only job they could get.

there are exceptions as i have said, so stop having your period and go get a tampon.

Good painters are really hard to find, and the good ones are expensive, of all the time I've been in construction I've know 4 exceptional standouts, that were not alcoholics or drug addicts, and that is 4 out of quite a large number of people.

One out of those 4 was a painting Master, not only was he proficient in painting but also staining and high end finishing, he could mix on site his own paint and stains, now he was damn good!

The problem today doesn't just fall into trades its people that want something handed to them and not work for it, I've seen some of the sorriest work come from so called professionals, some so bad you wouldn't believe it.

Thats why the Mexican workforce is doing so good today but killing the American average skilled worker, because they'll do the same job for less money and break their necks to do it right for you, something that seems to be lost in some Americans today, but better get back soon or America will have to change its name to Mexica

The really exceptionally good tradesmen don't even advertise and stay busy, its word of mouth that keeps them going from one job to another, because they've given their customers what they've paid for and more, you need to ask around and find out whos trustworthy and who people have used that were dependable, otherwise you're just taking a chance.

Theres a big difference between a person that picked up a hammer or paintbrush and found they could make some money, than those that were actually trained to do what they do, the biggest problem for you is weeding out the imposters, and thats not so easy.

Well just tell them to put the paint on the walls and quit tasting it, and they won't have to cut the taste out of their mouths, no offence to you RC but I've heard the same lame excuses where I live, and you know thats just basically an alcoholics excuse.

If a person wants to drink, just drink and be proud of it, don' blame the acquired drinking habits on their job they chose to support the drinking habit, if they quit painting will they quit drinking? No!

North or South that excuse still stands, I've painted and stained and varnished a lot of projects I've done for people simply because I didn't want someone to come in, do a halfassed job and mess up all my hard work, and I never started drinking because of paint taste in my mouth. That excuse will probably last forever! LOL

Fear is awesome! I'm sticking to BF2 though for the MP.

Played SS2 online quite a few times now, still haven't found all the secrets yet, but there is one Seriously irritating thing that Croteam did in their software they shouldn't have and I hope they ammend it with a limiting patch from the complaints they're getting from the players.

In cooperative mode when you select unlimited ammo, the Serious Bomb is included and some of these sorry players fascinated with the Serious Bomb will use it instead of fighting their way through the game, very irritating, and sometimes will give you no exploration time at all.

What I like to do is kill everything in an area and then look around for the secrets, before continuing forward, thats really my reason for using unlimited ammo in the frist place, and these guys just ruin that period.

Theres some levels in the game that when the last enemy dies the level automatically advances without going through a door or opening, and if the Serious Bomb is used multiple times in those levels you don't get to see anything at all without the game advancing.

I'll be glad when some of us can go in as a team and just explore without screwing it up for each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just dont know where to start. How about FOCK YOU!

It would have to be towards the end of the week say Friday or Saturday.

well you could start by reading my post. and realising everything i say is not a statement against you.

Intention and perception..... was i intending to insult all tradespeople? no, because i know some good ones. was i intending to insult lazy tradespeople who end up in the job because they arn't educated and need some cash? yes.

you ever had undercover programs for TV that hire tradespeople, film them, then send them letters saying if they have done well, or done poorly then asked them to explain themselves?

well the one here has 1 out of 4 home tradesmen absolutly sucking, or stealing from the owner/looking at porn....

funnily enough a lot of the great tradesmen get busted for having a look in the underpants drawers.

and no this show doesn't select the worst of the bunch, nor does it only show the bad ones on TV, it comends great tradesmen also.

sadly its these guys that give everyone else a bad rep. you just can't tell whos good/trustworthy or not. heck one of the episodes had one of them having a wank on it.

if you are one of thee guys then you shoudl be insulted, if you are a good tradesperson then be confident that you are not the target of my comments. you think lawyers get all offended when people say they don't like lawyers, or dentists get all offended when people say they hate dentists?

I know that not *all* New Zealanders can be brain-crippled snots like you, but you may prove me wrong. Carry on, stereotype NZ as being the birthplace of all idiots.

I trust you can do it within one sentence if you try really hard.

Well, I think stereotyping any profession the way alltaken did is rather stupid.
That kind of bashing tells a lot more about the basher then about the target.

Yes I know there are lots of drunk painters, doctors, judges, plumbers, presidents, and especially vet's.

Stereotyping is simply stupid.

I guess I score badly here
