Great tradies are worth their weight in gold. You form lifelong relationships with them and recommend them to all. However, we've encountered some of the more displeasing types in my house and hood lately...for example;
1. Mr No-Can Do- For example, "You can't tile that surface..." or "We don't do that..." or " You'll need to bring in a digger if you need a hole there."
2. The Opinionator - The guy that wants to comment on all your design selections instead of just installing the damned things.
3. The Pack O Thugs- These guys roam in packs, they saunter into your home or garden like they own it. Think they are the River Boys on Home and Away. Known to swear, spit, smoke, crank music and generally carry on in a most unsavoury fashion.
4. The Stuffer Upperer- Either they have let their first year apprentice take the measurements or had no awareness of the quote you had done (usually with some sales person who doesn't seem to communicate with the tradie at all) but these guys take at least three goes to get it right.
5. The No-Show - The ones that you have to do all the chasing. They may or may not show up at any given time. They don't work in the rain, don't work in the heat and basically don't work much at all. Seem to realise you need them more than they need you.
