This is a serious problem with us older guys but I have a feeling that if I could communicate in Spanish that the job would be done more their way than mine.

It has happened.
I found most of the Spanish guys I have come across over the years are pretty good at following directions or build to my satisfaction. Ones that I hired are trained, but then I use them each and every job. I just have to be very specific. I really dislike hiring new subs, don't like to retraining process. One of my guy on the crew speaks Spanish pretty well, so that helps.

Spanish? Gave it back to my high school Spanish as soon as I walked out of the classroom. What a mistake that was that I let that go.
