I have a more than a pet peeve..I think it's called a huge 'beef' with contractors, etc. I am so annoyed that I can't seem to find someone interested in some work not to mention when I do and I ask for a bid they promise to either call back or they will come and give a bid and never show up.
For example I have a tree that needs to come down ASAP. I was told the core of the tree is rotting away and it's dangerous. So I get on the phone and call, and call and so far after several weeks I yet to have one serious business come and give me a bid. grrrr...what is wrong with people, thought it would be simple to offer work, but it's like no one wants to do anything.
Seriously, is there so much work out there for companies that they can pick and choose now?
This isn't the only bid I'm trying to get since I have other work as well but so far for other things I got one person that took 2 weeks to submit a bid then that one was about 2 times the amount I figured it should cost. Go figure.
