We had a tile guy white, sub contractor, hated The Mexis's was the biggest piece of shit asshole liar, hypocrite Christian. we spent well over $35,000.00 in incredible kitchen floor and bath tile and it all had to be demolished and re done by a crew of Mexicans . His work was deplorable. He never cleaned up his mess, told me in my own home not to smoke pot, but offered me pills that he said would make me sleep 14 hours..The Mexicans came over demolished his mess and did and incredible job. worked 16 hours a day were happy, clean and trustworthy. They took pride in their work and I fed them and sent them home with farm goodies. No real craftsman left these days or people who take pride in a good job, its get it done pay me fuck you...Legal or not they did a great job and saved the day..

asshole.. I was cooking his breakfast and huffin a wake bake dube and from way across the room he said please don't smoke that in front of me... I looked at him for a second or two and took a huge rip and huffed even more...
His outfit was called Wendover Construction, had it in large letters on the back of his truck. I erased the W and put in a B, It was like that for a few days before he discovered it....Pissed him off big time, that day he left never saw him again.....

weve been here a month and have had a great time. eveytime i walk out of my apartment or work im hit in the face with beautiful mountains. yesterday i got off work and the moon was just ducking behind the mountains with soft red lined clouds. we moved from cali and only saw deer on tv, now im seeing them daily and they seem to live just as peacefully as the rest of us. the first day i was here i met a wax maker. i brought my cali weed and we made some wax. he loved seeing cali outdoor, said it was strange lookin :) (size) i havent gone sight seeing yet because of the move and new job but im gettin itchy. i hear garden of the gods is a nice drive to take. the other day at safeway i was purchasing some stuff, my check hadnt cleared my bank so my atm wasnt working. i had 26 dollars on me and my bill was 28.95, i looked at my bags to take something off and she said "ill just add a coupon or two for you" ive done that when i was a cashier in cali, but ive never had that done for me. so cool!!! and most people are chill here, still have my cali plates on and ive actually gotten "welcome to the springs" hahaha and i couldnt believe my eyes as im waiting for my food at a fast food place, i see a bikini coffee shop...... classic, cracks me up. i bet the coffees are 9 bucks, ohhh and they only take cash ;)

It's expensive to play in the hills! CM's place is damn nice. Lotsa tile and granite and nice appliances. 35K doesn't go too far anymore when you do it right...and my guess is that he's quoting the entire job cost...not the tile work alone.

The economy trashed the construction industry...not the illegals. What happened was the crash thinned the circus and weeded out the half-wits who shouldn't have been there in the first place. As I say, the quality folks here survived because they were, and still are, >always< in demand. My trim carpenter buddy who works on high-end kitchen remodels/etc just got busier 'cus his boss laid off all the dead weight. Things have not let up either. He has to fight to get days off and he can work 7 days a week if he wants to, and sometimes...like the busy period from Sept-Nov...he has to work what days they tell him to work. (7)

Kitchen cabinet guy is comin today to bid my kitchen. Gonna do the demo and tile myself...and...MAYBE the cabinets as well. Gonna have to see the costs involved....cus I sure have enough weed on hand to get the job done...and with weed...I can do damn near anything.... :D

I agree. Mods? Can you please delete my posts in regards to my replies to Chickenmans post where he talks about how great mexicano/illegals are and how shitty the white, black and red workers are? My apologies.
