I have noticed that the majority of "bad quality" work of any type has been the responsibility of inexperienced and/or lazy workers. In the area of KY in which I live it seems like everyone wants something for nothing. We have one of the highest percentages (per capita) of law suits and people who are "on the dole". When I first moved in to this area I thought it was full of artists because people would say they "draw" when asked what they do for a living. I finally figured out they meant draw a check!

My parents just had their roof redone and, luckily, my dad checked it out before they left. They had put the roof vents on over the shingles without cutting a hole for the heat to escape from the attic. He complained about it and, I could not believe this, their answer was to take a hatchet and hack a hole in the roofing and then reinstall the vent! That is just laziness. They are in litigation now because my dad had the good common sense to get someone (a retired roofer) to check things out before they were paid. He found so many mistakes that it was pitiful. And the roof leaks.

Luckily, we do have an excellent independent here who knows what she is doing and knows Mercedes in and out (most models). She is not a bit afraid to tell you if she does not know the answer to a question - but she always finds the answer. She is fair and honest.
