My view of the world

I was watching the workmen tearing the wooden shingles off the neighbor’s house this morning.
When the garbage people dropped the dumpster off, the owner of the house had them stop about 10 feet from the eaves. Which means, the guys on the roof have to load the shingles on to a tarp and then two of them carry it down a ladder, down the driveway a few feet and then lift it into the dumpster.
Is it just me or does this sound like these guys have never done this before?
The odds are, that these guys are illegals, there’s no contractor, and they showed up in one of those little trucks with 3 in the cab and 4 in the bed.
On the upside they were working their butts off, on the downside, I don’t think they’ve ever reshingled a roof before, this should be interesting.
It’s sad commentary when you can’t afford to hire a contactor for something like a roof, but these guys will use the same materials and pay retail and still beat a licensed contractor’s price by at least 50% and as long as they get the tar paper down right, the new roof will last just as long.

There’s something wrong with this whole picture.
A contractor would probably use these same guys to do the work, because to be competitive, a small contractor can’t afford to use union labor.
