I have no patience for anyone who doesn't have the common sense of a knatt when it comes to building and construction safety.

I've seen too many mistakes made in construction or renovations over the years to become complacent.

I don't know about you, but I prefer to live in a home that was built or renovated by licenced builders, not an unsk**led workers.

Buildings that have sustained severe storm damage come with their own hidden dangers.

My aunt had a huge bull pine hit by a dry lightning strike. The tree was close to 4 feet in diameter, and stood about two feet from the rear of her cottage. The strike sent branches through the roof in several places. The electric supply was torn off the side of the house away from the tree. The upper portion of the trunk was sent in the opposite direction.

There was damage to three of the roof rafters about 5 feet from the end of the cottage, and the end of the cottage also sustained some damage. The repairs were done by a handyman with no structural engineering background. He sistered just two foot sections of those rafters, when the entire rafter should have been sistered. This is in a heavy snow belt area, where structural integrity is important in a building that carries a heavy snow load in the winter.

Yep, you are definitely just another TURD that worked at the government trough for so long that you are completely out of touch with reality.
It's not about WANT and SPIRIT, and what YOU THINK!!! This is not Tramp, it's real!!
Go ahead and let the "will work for food " people rebuild your house.
And you worked in the construction trades how long???
How long did you push a pencil?
Do you think one of the "will work for food", people standing on a corner could have come in and done YOUR job??? Be honest?! And we're talking basic residential not complex commercial work!
There's a reason why those sk**led jobs are being done by an illegal.
1, They don't need a college education to do it.
2, They can be an illegal and do the job!
How long did you go to college to learn to push a pencil? You DID go to college..., right??
The average trade takes a minimum of a 5 year apprenticeship to become a journeyman. That's like getting a BA degree in carpentry. A five year guy doesn't know all that much, but can at least work on their own. That's like someone stepping in and doing a job you did for 20 years being straight out of school.
Going to church and praying will NOT get that work done, especially with no one with sk**ls to do it!
Maybe you can go be a cheerleader, they have SPIRIT!!!
