As if builders ever need an excuse. Even in this economy, with contractors losing their gear and businesses, it's damn near impossible to get them to make a bid or follow through. We've been waving handfuls of money for several jobs since last spring and repeated rounds of calls just provoke yawns and no return calls. It took a year of intermittent attempts (= drop everything for a week trying to call, get bids from and follow up with, then quit in exhaustion for a month) to get a team in to do some pricey tile and stone work.
