The eternal dilemma of working with Dorel, who is good at all, or with craftspeople specializing in each operation.
– Yeah, but Dorel’s cheaper, he’s our neighbor, we somehow understand …
This is the most common reason why, unfortunately, we still employ craftsmen and do not take into account their real professional skills. We believe that the economy we make at work will be to our ultimate advantage, not taking into account that any mistake in Dorel’s ignorance will then cost us a lot more expensive than the work we would have paid to a professional.
– It’s not possible! How so? , we will immediately respond irritated.
It can! And yet what can …
If we do not know new real stories lived by others before us, that does not mean it is not, they do not exist.
– Okay. Let’s hear what the stories are with Dorel …
Hmm … The story of Dorella who mistakenly mistaken the installation of the tiles in the bathroom and gave the slope not to the drain siphon, but to the hall in front of the bathroom, how does it sound? But the story of the Dorians who had not had their wallpaper in their lives, and they were looking at the sheets on the parquet like in the aliens? And then they took the air bubbles under the freshly glued wallpaper to the syringe bought from the pharmacy … You know the famous plastic corners for the corners of the bathroom, when applying the tile, used by the Dorel who has never heard of mounting the plates at a right angle , by cutting each plate in 45 degrees, or did not want to head his head, because he would not have come out anyway? Not to mention the joints between parquet and tiles, how the tiles and wall tiles are generally installed, how the polystyrene profiles for walls and ceilings are glued, or the finishing of the walls before tiling. And how many more stories …
– Mmm, I do not know what to say … My neighbor is a serious man. It would not do me that.
Of course he’s a serious man, did anyone say otherwise? Every Dorel, of the above, was serious in his own way and had the best intentions, but he was little overcome by the situation. Because he’s not really a professional. Without disturbing anyone, that’s the reality. Those craftsmen who undergo training, training abroad to learn some techniques, or to work with better materials and equipment, who every day want to be better, learn something new, manage to work with a degree an increasing difficulty, are people who will make economics in arrangement despite their more expensive workmanship.
– How so? the question quickly comes. I can not believe.
It’s simple and logical at the same time. It’s not cheaper and more functional to pay a little more expensive work, but do not buy the materials twice to fix the mistakes of execution from a cheaper workmanship? Have you ever estimated the price of your nerve to the maximum, the stress generated by the repair costs and the related delays?
Silence … It’s silent …
The final choice always belongs to the beneficiary and will be done according to various criteria, more or less objective. What we hope is that, after going through this article, before you say a “YES!” Determined to your neighbor Dorel, ask him to show you various works he has done and to ask for an offer from a professional, comparison not only at the price of the mane, but also in the quality of execution. Only then can you decide “how expensive expensive workmanship is.”
