Had the house exterior painted. The company I hired sent over two Mexicans(well one is technically from Guatemala).

2600 square feet two story and the back is essentially three with the crawl space. Replaced some of the wood trip that was rotted, sealed and caulked, taped it off.So, there was some carpentry work involved. Painted it and stained three decks with two coats and stained the lattice around the taller deck that covers the bottom where you can store stuff underneath. Painted the windows seals and everything. Oh, and power washed it before they started. Had to removed all the gutters and painted the garage door and two storage room doors.

I will put them up against any of your good old boys out there and give your boys a head day start and they can run a three man crew. You are going to lose at least one or two days for your guys showing up drunk or not showing up at all because they are drunk. Plus, it was upper 90's every day and the UV index was a bitch.

I suppose it's somewhat commendable that you can overlook your bigotry long enough to let someone work for you....if they work cheap enough.

I hired the company. I didn't hire the workers. I bet they are doing ok. Probably better than what you paid. Great guys.

How do you know they worked cheap or what they were making?

Because it's you that hired them.

What do you fail to understand? I hired the company. Those two guys work for the company. I have no bigotry. You are assuming they make low wages. I bet they do better than what you paid.

After eight hours working hard in the upper 90s weather, they finally asked Herdman if he had some water for them. Herdman told them they'd have as much water as they could ever want when they reach the Rio Grande on their way back home.

When they knocked on his door to tell them they were finished and to request their payment, Herdman called the emergency ICE line and screwed them on the money. It's the cheeto way.

I understand quite well, thank you. I suppose it's somewhat commendable that you can overlook your bigotry long enough to let someone work for you....if they work cheap enough.

I can hire a Mexican painter to do some painting around my house and he will do it for $300. The white man will want $900. The black man probably won't do it.

If I own a landscaping company am I going to hire a Mexican for $8 an hour or a white guy for $15? Remember the Mexican will work cheap and off the books(he might have to). Same thing for construction.

I would rather hire a low wage Mexican to do it.
 
I know what you mean Herdman. Guatemala or Mexico they are all the same. Those short brown men all look the same. Herdman a few days ago I leveled up by woodshop. I used blocks and a 2'12" to level the building. There is a long lost art, especially holding down the pressure and still chalking up the building. I painted it white with red trim. I put up underpinning and gutters.My 4yr old grandson stood right with me. Then I laid 5 sheets of plywood over an already very solid floor. Why did I Do that? I did that because someone wanted me to give him the 5 sheets
He already has enough wood to build 3 houses. I painted around every single window in the house.Then I cut weeds for two hrs. Decided to lay a few shingles on my woodshop. Ended up fixing the entire roof. Above was not work but play. Then I woke up next morning. Both feet very sore but yet numb. Left shoulder and right thump hurting alot. Short of breath all that day. Slightly strained groin
I can get it done but never without suffering later. Can work as hard but surely harder than you for one day Herdman. When your working on something of your own their is not enough time in a day
Working a regular job I think the day will never end
 
Of course the Mexican works harder and better than the average low paying others. I give them that. Painters are making more than $8 an hour.

Plus, it was 5 grand to paint the house.

Going back to the point, these guys work circles around the average joe back home.

4 of us guys and a chick built 5 kitchens in 1 week. No overtime. Boss came up on Friday and told us to slow down.
I thought you were the boss? The Latino painters are the best. And framing crews. I think we should keep some of them around, hard workers, instead of the leaches taking EIC and going to Myrtle Beach .
 
Who, Greed? I would rather put up with Mario and Geovany than a bunch of my kin folk. I could hire my kin to pain my house and they would be still trying to start the job 5 years later.
ain't that the damn truth. family and friends . . . never do business with them.

i hired a friend earlier in the spring to totally strip and restain my house. 75% complete and haven't seen him for the past two weeks. has one small section on a gable to strip and stain then replace some facia boards that bore bees had tore up and stain those. also needs to replace the metal around windows. no contact, nothing.

Liar. You can't stay off of this message board long enough to do that.

We also were not allowed to use power tools, 10 minute lunch break, sweating got you fired, and had to walk uphill to and from work in 24" of snow. Moron.
 
Disgusting.

have some respect for women.
greed's wife isn't allowed to speak unless he addresses her. she's never held a job, had to stay home and mind the house. no friends she calls on or does anything with, not allowed. wonder how many "slips, trips, and falls" resulting in facial bruising she's had over the years . . .

Is she allowed to show her hair or does it have to stay tucked in her bonnet at all times?

My wife is smart. I only had to teach her a lesson one time. Idiot.
 
beat the ole "i'm the man of the house, do as i say" lesson into her early, huh?

Exactly, moron. From that day forward there have been many times my wife begged me to come out from under the bed and fight like a man.

Nothing farther from the truth. She worships the ground he walks on. Get around them and you will see. A woman who doesn't have to work a job 9-5 is a lucky woman
