Take care of number 1

Being positive can sometimes be a hindrance. It can lead to naivety. You trust that everything will be OK. Sorry folks, life just isn't that dreamy. Question everything, don't trust instantly, be critical when investigating. Thoroughly double check details as other professionals make mistakes. OFTEN.  It's quite scary actually. Most people are out for themselves and to make fast money off you. My partner B told me that his mother taught him to take care of number 1 as no one else will. People will always tell you what they think you want to hear to get a sale or pass the buck etc.
There has been so much BS with building a new house from scratch. The finish line is near people ...I can smell the sod coming now.
For all those contractors out there (i doubt you will be reading this but anyway...) have some frigging pride in your work. Do a job properly so you don't have to come back 3 times to fix it. Don't wreck other people's work. e.g. bang the walls with your stupid tool belt when walking through the house. Thank you.
