Shady Sub Contractors

In the next few weeks I went through a lot of effort trying to find sub contractors to do some of the more complicated work. Finding someone to pay to do the work has been MUCH harder than I thought. If you didn't know already, sub contractors are shady folk. I have had 4 general contractors disappear, and probably 8 sub contractors in and out of my house. Some much shadier than others. I have finally found a fantastic HVAC sub, great plumber and the electrician is working out well... when he calls me back.

I have had sub contractors quote me incredibly different prices for the same work. Its hard to get a feel for who knows what they are talking about. So far I have been successful with the contractors I have chosen.

Here are some photos of work that has taken place up to last week by the sub contractors.
