    When you take your car to the dealership, they will charge you an insane amount like 60-90$ per labour hour. Do you really think the mechanic working on it gets even half or quarter of that? What motivation does that person have to get the job done in a hurry? Sometimes I've seen my car sit there for half an hour without it being touched because the mechanic was done in half the quoted time and they still charged me the full amount.

      *shakes her head* Yes, that's me... incapable of appreciating any other POV. You just look for any avenue you can to be a xxxx to me don't you? You couldn't do it the thread where you disagreed with me so this is your outlet? I can't talk about what anyone else's experience with contractors is like, but in my experience and that of those I know (from what they have shared), it has been contracted by the job.
      How you can expect me to look at another POV in this instance is beyond me.

        wait, isn't siggie getting her sink and stove top fixed? those kind of jobs are different from getting work done on your car at the mechanics or body shop.when a worker comes to your house to do contractor work they end up doing the job in a timely manner because they want to get out of there, because the alloted time they gave to come and help you is for you only and they do not have other jobs sitting to take care of say in a mechanics shop.

          How am I being a **** to you? This is supposed to be a forum where people exchange thoughts and ideas so we can learn from each other.

            Yeah it is, but it's also quite clear after some time what people's motivation is for the things they say.

              She was the one complaining of it taking forever.... since I do that kind of stuff myself, I don't have to deal with idiots.

                I think it's all in your head.

                    You must be confusing attitude with self confidence.... it happens.

                      Installing a sink or range is the easy part that we would have done ourselves, but it had to wait until the new granite counters were installed. Unfortunately cutting granite isn't something we can do ourselves.
