As I write this, I can hear the hammers of illegal pounding as they work on building a house across my street! I can guarantee you that they will have SS#s and they will all be bogus.
You have no right to bitch about the criminals if you don't make the call.
We had a new roof put on when we moved in - run by a white guy who’d been in business in town twenty years, family firm - but the eight men who came and went up on my roof were all Hispanic.
I haven’t hired out anything since then, redoing the bath or painting or new kitchen floor, but there’s things that are beyond me that have to be done soon - tree work and concrete injection under a slab. So I’ll see who actually shows up to do the work.
