Whew! Makes one think, just like that could be game over. I'm quite surprised that union doesn't run a tighter ship. Someone is responsible. Construction trade unions used to be quite strict from equip. operators to carpenter, plumbing, electrical.

I've throttled back big time on jobs and really infuriated on what's happened though in the building trades. Since the lack of jobs, the union guys have invaded in the private sector and non-union projects. No one heeds safety, no union supv. its a free for all at job sites. The illegal alien workers have also mixed in and often chaos. Nobody cares anymore including the trade unions. I hate them all. They only care about extortion dues.

Had a project I walked away from. Get this.... a G.C. was having HIS own new home built. I bid the framing job but was too high. He ended up hiring a Mexican illegal crew. They messed up everything, from walls not square or plumb and the worst.... the second floor elevation was off!

The builder / owner finds out and decides to call me and help out. I agreed and straightened out some of the inside walls and build the stairs. But he kept the Mexicans on board and had them frame rafters, sheath and shingle the roof. They destroyed and burned out their compressor and then plugged into mine. I was borderline OK in allowing them to do so. Next, they borrow some of my tools and the end of one day, loaded their van up with my tools! Good thing I took a break at that moment and caught them.

But the last straw was when I was cutting in the basement lower level stairs three floors below, these clowns just kept on working on the roof directly above. I repeatedly told them to move elsewhere and work on the other side of the dwellings roof. They just didn't get it and later on a long length of 2 x 6 fell within inches of me. I blew the stack, packed up and phoned the G.C..

Azzholes builders deserve a crappy built America. Its drives me absolutely crazy to see the millionaires having multi million dollar homes built by illegals and they are schit built!
