Reply to "Contractor License?"

HIFLYER you have admitted that you are not a contractor. Answer any one of the questions I asked earlier and prove me wrong.

I don't think a dishonest attitude would have gotten me where I am today. I honor my word and protect my reputation at all costs, even if that occasionally means losing a dollar.

It is much easier to re-earn money than it is to rebuild my reputation.

And in regards to the continued accusations of me being dishonest, I continue to stand on my original platform. And that is..... In certain instances of jobsite injury on residential construction, the injured may be better off telling the hospital that they did it at home. Especially if they have separate health insurance.

Now if I had to guess, I would gander that upwards of 75% of the labor force on residential jobsites does NOT have any type of medical insurance. So if this number is accurate, it seems kind of odd that a 25% rate of insured would even raise this kind of debate on this issue. Why could this be??

I will tell you. Telling the hospital you did it at home is kind of an unspoken rule. I have known people who worked for folks who carried WC and still told the hospital they did it at home. WHY? There is one simple reason..... Drugs. The majority (not all) of tradesmen may take a toke or a pain pill every once in a while. Any WC involved injury treated at the ER will involve a drug screening. If the results come back positive, WC will not pay... and one other thing..... they lose their job.

Do you honestly think that there is a roofing crew in Cobert or Lauderdale County that could collectively pass a drug test? I would bet my life savings that there is not. It's not right, and you guys can sit here and say sh!t like "Those kind of people have never and will never be on my jobsite." But they are. And there is nothing you can do about it but contend with it. And seeing as every building has a roof, I would bet that one of those crews has been on your site. Not to mention painters....but they are not quite as bad.

You are blindly ignorant if you think that every soul that sets foot on any jobsite could pass a drug test.
