Many pick and choose what they respond to even if it is a direct question.

Its important that we earn the respect of the trades that we work with. Its more important what the consumers perception of painters is.

Most trades show more respect for us than a few of those other tradesmen.

Respect must be mutual Scott. Personally I dont give a rats azz what the other trades think of us on CT. In the short time I've been a member on both sites I've read more than my share of crap from those guys about painters.

Agreed we must work on the public's perception of Painter's.

Nice catch on the edit!

POW!

I decided that just in case the gloves came off someday (and they always do on internet forums) that I remained anonymous.
I made the right choice.

No calls came in when they were posted, I can only imagine some of the calls I would get after today.

That was one of my first goals when I entered the field of painting. I looked at the type of painter that was making the good money and decided I could do better by showing up clean, sober, and on time.
Easiest goal I have ever set for myself.
