Re: Boy These Are The Only Ads We Are Seeing

Judging by the reply to address, I would say that it could be another contractor trying to cash in on people starving.

Re: Boy These Are The Only Ads We Are Seeing

I responded to the ad and told the guy what a moron he is. And greedy and a thief. These people disgust me!!! Yes, I am likely out of line but maybe it will put a little guilt on him. He's a painter trying to get the job done for almost nothing and collect his fat check. You can bet on it.

You guys are just complaining because you don't know how to telecommute. Yeah, I'll take that telecommuting job. I hang drywall over the phone all the time.

Re: Boy These Are The Only Ads We Are Seeing

I see ads like that and more all the time on cl down in florida. it disgusts me. I am a professional in my very specific trades and get angry when I am outbid in my field by a painter who is starving.
