and it was you who projected your sick desires in response.

you need help.

My experience was that I would hire a contractor for a specific job (painting for example)….they would then subcontract it to someone else who would then further subcontract it to a supervisor and workers.  It was absolutely ridiculous.  I went through 4 different painting crews that didn’t even have a notion of painting in a straight line and not slopping it on window frames and door frames that were a different color.  I did my best job supervising but my (now ex) girlfriend would chastise me for doing so.  One of the workers literally told her the following day that he was so stressed that he couldn’t even eat that night….and of course, it was all my fault 🤦‍♂️.

 

There wasn’t a single thing in my 2 million baht renovation that wasn’t a complete snafu.  From the painting, to the flooring, the kitchen, the countertops, the electrical….all of it.

 

I think that when you have the lowest iq people doing the work at the bottom of a chain of people taking their cut, you basically have monkeys doing the job.  Even trying to supervise them directly and showing YouTube videos of how a job is supposed to be done correctly I would be told “This is not how we do this in Thailand”. And when there would be times that they would say “yes…I understand”….they would then just continue as usual.   That is when Rampant told me that it’s just best to do the job myself.  In the end, with so many re-dos of things that I couldn’t do myself (such as the countertops that had to be replaced, wiring redone, etc etc….I doubt there was very much profit in it for anyone.

 

So…what does this have to do with university grads who can’t find jobs?   They should go into the trades and do things right the first time and at a level of quality (that requires some amount of intelligence/IQ) to where they can actually make better money…and much better than being a desk jockey where they probably don’t contribute much and have little job satisfaction.   Wishful thinking I’m sure because any manual labor is “low class” which is why you see them grow their pinky fingernails long as a sign that they don’t work with their hands.

 

Back in the US, I renovated a mid century modern doing the lions share of the work myself and I agree….the people who worked with me were for the most part useless with the exception of one contractor who lived in the neighborhood who would actually come, look at a job…and if it was something he thought I could do myself, he would recommend I do so.

Sensible post and I bet I'm a little more accepting of imperfections for better or worse.  Smiled at the GF comment.  I adore my woman and decided that a house wasn't worth recking a relationship. I live in a small Thai tourist town and people aren't familiar with westerners.  She accepts imperfection ( she is with me 🙂 )and is fine paying too much at times.  I've adapted 🙂
