I don't understand the "beef" here? Like any trade, their are "codes" that need to be followed. If you don't follow code and somebody gets hurt, you're gonna pay! Other than following "code" the rest is some "chump" trying to convince some other "chump" to do something for nothing in order to line their own pockets! This is a "service" industry, not an assembly line! Sounds like "most" folks on this board calling themselves "contractors" need to take a course or two at their local college, in contract law! If you don't , what these "clowns" are trying to convince you of will continue to degrade what's left of a "once" lucrative trade!
