Call me

My wife and I are trying to fix up our house we recently inherited from her dad. He built the house close to 50 years ago, and other then the normal upkeep, he never really improved, or should I say, updated it.

My problem has been having contractors call me back when we make appointments with them.

It took me 3 different contractors to finally have 1 get back to us for new vinyl siding. A new kitchen is also in order, and the guy who contacted us never showed. I'm sitting home on a Saturday afternoon, which by the way was the warmest day we had in a week and would have been spent much better out riding the motorcycle, waiting for our 2 pm appointment and no one showed. Not even a call saying I'll be late/not there/died.
Concrete contractor comes to the house, measures the area to be done, says he'll call back with an estimate...............never heard from him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it's my breath?

I don't understand. I'm trying to give people money and no one even has the decency to call and let us know they won't be there!!!!!

Sad America, very sad.

Sad, very
What ever happened to good business practice?
