Top 10 Telephone Messages You Don't Want to Get From Your Contractor

  1. "Sorry about the cat. That nail gun really has a long range."
  2. "I think we're a little over budget. I'll have a better feel for it when I get back from Vegas."
  3. "Whaddya mean, you didn't want the skylight in the bedroom? You said to put it where the sun don't shine."
  4. "Don't worry. No one will notice the drum-sander gouges in your floor if you leave the blinds pulled."
  5. "I thought we could save on wiring expenses by running electricity through your water pipes."
  6. "I'm taking on a bigger job next week, but don't worry, my brother will take over your remodel when he gets out of jail."
  7. "Sorry I didn't get your new roof finished. I'll get right on it when I return from Arizona next spring."
  8. "Maybe my workers didn't wipe their feet when they came inside, but it was your dog that made the mess in the first place."
  9. "Sure the foundation's not level. But that'll just make it easier to drain the water from the leaky plumbing."
  10. "Geez. All you do is complain. You act like the house is going to fall down. … Oh."
