We had tradies in this month, reputable ones, but we found out you bloody have to watch them like hawks and tell them exactly how you want things. The sparkie put two wall plugs in on same wall as asked but not at same height .. wtf? Did we have to explain that too?? The demo guys scratched deep gouges in the pine floor removing tiles. Dis we have to tell them to be careful of the pine floor? Jaysus. And the plasterer left blobs of plaster on the floor. Dad always hovered when tradies were working - now I see why.

We're finding this same thing out with almost every contractor we deal with, to a greater or lesser degree. I've already had to patch the drywall where it's been gouged and some of the wood trim has been scratched. I'll be "supervising" more closely from here on out. I like "sparkie"! I'm going to start using that term myself for electricians. : )
