TomB Said: Tico...I love it...Where do I sign up to volenteer a week with the RMAP?I do swear to be damned, this could be an actual task force. I wonder what it would take? Probably some staunch support from contractors, then again, how many truly TRULY have completely legal crews? I would bet the real statistic of roofs getting done by shystie and his oye como va squad could be above 70%. I just did A 125' tie in, where A contractor hacked up one owners of A commercial roof break line and did A repair. He left the other side open, I mean OPEN, not bulled, not A shitty bull and membrane over the gravel, O P E N! I had to spup the entire run, cut the line straight, I bulled the lap, half rolled A 90 into it 6", cut the layers to A bevel to stop water building and to flow, and bulled and membraned the other side. They are roofing it in A few years so I did what was needed. Been A few months, guess what? The other roof section, the guy "fixed" originally? It leaks. Why? 40 dollar A day help. And believe I talked smack, the real irony, the joke, the guy is talking to his frijoles is Spanish, I say, oye, mira,, el gringo aqui intiende, espanol,, muey bien.

tinner666 Said:Actually, English and southern are my normal languages. I do however, being raised in Miami speak 3 other languages on top of southern, they are English, Spanish and Yankee. Don't no one get A break, I got the drawl down, southern, English, for diction, Spanish for my locale, and lump of doo in the mouth Yankee because we have been invaded, deep down in sunny south flawda! :unsure: :lol:tico Said: The majority of the crappy techniques are for the most part 2 fold, 40 dollar A day help,,, and the language barrier. That and the blind eye and prayer technique. The contractor is so worried about his exorbitant profit that he pays cheap, doesnt look, and prays his ass off. It seems the storm chaser roof sales and build mentality has permeated its way into the folds of the stay at home contractors. Note: for those here that do NOT use scumbiggity help, and stand on your jobs, disregard. My comment is for the scumbags, if youd like my address so you can hear my opinion of you in person, PM me. Im in Tennessee right now doing some trout fishing, headed to Raleigh soon then back south to sunny Florida. I can meet you.Well said. Whats this about a language barrier? :P The native languages are English and Southern. I understand both and so would anybody I hired.

Rockydog Said: Hats off to you Cajuns. Hard to enforce though.It's not hard to enforce. Technology is your friend. WI-FI tablets, every permit is posted within 24 hours of submission. Use A sub contractor cease and seize proclamation. You roll up on the job, your partner gets out, stands guard with A Mac or tin tin, halts the job with A few rounds into the ground. You ask for the permit, the liscense, insurance and work papers for the employees. When they don't produce, you call immigration, they roll A bus, you send the fly by nighter and his guys that don't get deported walking. Seize their equiptment, it goes on the block, the proceeds get split between the "roving marauders of American prosperity" that's what I would name the division.

Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day we have code enforcement checking permits, driving to job site etc. Still hard to enforce. Doesn't change some of the crappy application techniques contractors use to save money. B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

Enact contractor licensing laws and enforce them,i aint going nowhere but i get tired of low balling storm chasers and thier illegal crews.They will still come and do work ant stop them but sure the hell can slow them down if they come around here

Well shine, I wish y'all hadda done that before the deluge of hurricanes hit the Carolina's back in the mid 90's. Then we wouldn't have had to compete with all them Louisiana scum buckets that ran there and drove the market down. I swear, every third truck at the roof supply or homo depot was from Louisiana. then the second truck was from Texas. And they both brought crews of illegal immigrants. Please educate yorn, not to trespass, since y'alls so adamant about folks running up on your lot. Have some class, the horn, you have tooted, now be responsible and accountable. I surely would appreciate it :lol:
