This is so accurate. I absolutely hate that it’s super hard to find qualified craftsmen nowadays. And worse, sometimes they’re clearly unqualified AND don’t speak my language, so communication is super frustrating.
I can find plenty of craftspeople. But usually they will only take specific jobs, with specific outcomes.
I have a situation where I have to have a bathroom completely demolished and plumbing and waste water lines redone.
It’s a simple deal and a quick work yet nobody will take it because there are special demands that need to be met (it involves insurances) like ripping old water lines completely from the wall and run new tubes.
But “ripping out the old is too much work and puttin new pipes into the wall is too conplex: leave the old ones as is and put the new ones outside the wall”.
Nope. Old out, new in. Everything through conduits, with joints and safety valves inside inspection bixes. And there they go running.
