Please put them in their place on a regular basis Ed. Someone needs to do it.The lubies.
"They" are self proclaimed experts at everything automotive.
All the dry wall crews in the area are Mexican and they get it doneWe had our roof done 2 years ago. One white foreman and about 15-20 Mexican guys. Talked to the foreman, he said the only white guys that wanna be roofers are crackheads. He said the Mexican guys all show up on time, work hard and he never gets calls to bail them out of jail.
They did our roof in early March. Showed up at 7am, roof was down to wood by 7:30, underlayment and ice and water shield was on by 10, and all shingles and ridge vent were done by 1. By 3pm everything was cleaned up, roof was done and they were gone without a trace. And to this day, I have yet to find a roofing nail or any other garbage in the yard.
You mean the heavy leans? That’s usually caused here by densely planted trees trying to find sunlight. All the tall skinny trees with a few limbs are towards the center.Is that from prevailing winds or an optical illusion?

If I was still in the framing business, I'd have a whole crew of Mexicans. White guys don't like to actually work.....they just want to get paid.We had our roof done 2 years ago.

If you could figure out a way for all these fukking crybaby whining millennials to do framing and roofing and other trades from home on their computer in their pajamas you could get richIf I was still in the framing business, I'd have a whole crew of Mexicans.

I will probably get blasted for this but here goesMexicans mow my lawn. They all jump outta the truck like a SWAT team and get busy. Not a blade of grass to be found along the curb, on the driveway, or walkway going to the front door.
Then do your jobI will probably get blasted for this but here goes
When we lived in Kentucky (1993-94) we knew some folks who raised tobacco and they and other tobacco farmers were in a bind because the laborers who had always come around at harvest time decided the work was beneath them
The farmers didn't know what to do until someone said just get some Mexican migrant workers; problem solved, all the help they needed and they worked longer and harder etc
Then the people who traditionally did the harvesting went apeshit and started screaming about losing their jobs to a bunch of wetbacks, etc
I was very impressed, not just with the speed, but the quality of the work. I watched them do it and got up on the roof and inspected everything afterward. Flashing, drip edge, boots around the vents, etc, was all tight and straight and properly installed.If I was still in the framing business, I'd have a whole crew of Mexicans.

you need to video more lolIt wouldn't matter.
Take this Jeep Patriot for example..

Who knows your Jeep? Your GM dealer, that's who.
They bring it in and have our new alignment expert Brandon line that bish up. I mean, he took a 2 day Hunter alignment course, so he knows everything.
Well, after, a service writer and him determined it has torque steer. They then find the right control arm bushing that's no longer connected to the control arm.
They dump it on me to replace the control arm, which I do. Steering is now crooked as fùck. And, I noticed when I drove it the left front cv shaft is knocking like an I80 lot lizard on a freightliner sleeper..
So they have him do another alignment.
Then dump it back to me to replace the CV shaft..
I replace the shaft, road test, it pulls like a mutha ro the right.. but I wouldn't call it torque steer..
So, I look at the alignment printout.
3.2 degrees left caster.
2.1 degrees right caster..
Anyone who knows what the angles actually do know it's going to go to the side with the least amount. Us, factor in road crown. I like to see .5 degree higher on the right, or so, to compensate.
Tell them maybe they need to look at the angles as a hint.
I got told "they are all in tolerance " in a slightly snotty tone.
I said, that's cool, your the expert.
He's been doing these 3 months or so now.
I did my first alignment in 93. I might know something if they'd listen..
