[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to see a quick poll of the room as to how many people here serve contractors lemonade. As to being a monster, geez... I called it a minor irritation. Considering all the things that people are capable of, and have done in recent news, perhaps your perspective needs adjustment. It's not like I don't think they deserve a break. I just never volunteered my front lawn as their personal breakroom.[/quote]

I’ve offered gatorades to numerous contractors, even bought them lunch a few times for longer term projects. I’ve given away a ton of hand me down baby gear to our house cleaners. I am fine with them taking breaks on my porch or wherever.

Oh and I had one contractor tell me they totally factor in how they’re treated when they decide which clients to work with and whether they’ll give you a referral to other contractors. Most service contractors in this area are busy and I see threads on here all the time from people who can’t seem to get an estimate or a call back. Being pleasant to work with will help you in the long run and is the right thing to do. [/quote]
