I'm sure the largest percentage of those here are hardworking, sober & honest - 
but as with anything else, a bad apple spoils the whole barrel.  And naturally 
that bad apple gets the publicity.

  About 10 years ago, I was selling my home and decided to have some exterior 
cosmetics attended to, one of my customers who rehabs homes in the city 
(Phila.) said hey let me take care of that for you, I can probably save you 
some money. One of my favorite phrases.
   
  I showed him my home and asked for his advice, he made a few suggestions that 
sounded pretty good, so I gave him the green light...........I was away when 
they started and came back mid day of the last of the job, I have never seen 
any thing quite like it, they had scaffolding up along one wall and there were 
workers all over the scaffolding, some doing tree work some doing stucco work 
and some doing paint work..... things  people and material was literally flying 
about....the scaffolding was braced here and there with a wooden chock or a 
couple of bricks and looked about as secure as something that I might have 
built in my drive way. Later my wife told me that it had been that way for 3 
days and it was like being at monkey island at the zoo.
   
  They finished in 3 days and when I got the bill it was far less than I 
expected .........
   
  I doubt that there were any local licenses obtained, or OSHA rules followed 
but it was done.
   
  BTW, one of the workers has subsequently done work for me independently of 
the contractor, he is always on time and works until what ever assigned task is 
done...has never been less than polite, speaks some English refuses a cold beer 
even on the hottest of days and when I offered him some thing that was in my 
garage which was going to be trashed I had to fight him because he wanted to 
pay me.
   
  BTW, even though I have a problem with immigration, I have no quarrel with 
the people or their work ethic, in fact they could teach us all a lesson, BUT 
we need to get the rules in place and then allow those who will follow them the 
luxury of doing so.
   
  The work that was originally performed thru the contractor was excellent, and 
continues to be so.
