Dang Carpenters!

I spent a lot of time yesterday and Today'scrambling to work out details with the h/o, sign him up, set up the job, have materials delivered, etc. so my crew could start this job as soon as we finished the house we were already working on. And ?thought? i had accomplished this until today when i received a call from the h/o?s carpenter who informed me they would be tearing down the front porch roof and building it larger and up onto the main roof, interfering with an existing valley and creating a ?dead? valley with some type of so called cricket to try and help out said ?dead? valley. The h/o told me just last night he would be installing some kind of awning for a front porch roof ( that would be lower down and not interfere with the main roof ) because in the near future he wanted to create an end to end front porch and roof. I had to cancel everything and make a dozen or so phone calls to do so. This was also our only remaining job on the boards for now. Plus it lead to the h/o wanting me to make another visit to the site ( its a fairly long drive ) and meet this carpenter there to see what i think about his proposal to Phuck up the roof! lol Which i can Never recommend someone to create a ?dead? valley on a roof. Thus i didn't. But these guys have already ripped off the h/o?s wife ( he?s always at work making the money to pay for all this ) and shes dealing with all us contractors on her own with the exception of some telephone calls with her husband. I did my best to strongly discourage her, him and them not to build a dead valley but they are not going to listen because this carpenter guy simply isn?t going to let go of the profit he milked her out of to build this porch roof. He told the h/o that he could have this thing built in a day and then told me 4-5 days. Anyways i guess in the end its not the end of the world but im just tired of all this type of b.s.! lol Just needed to vent i guess! :woohoo: :woohoo:
