Thanks Boo - I will. My problem is I am not tough enough on people and I have zero time to manage people, especially remotely.

Yes I am a contractor, but we only venture in that area from time to time, we are pretty exclusive to the Lake Sunapee area.

You do not have to be a tough person, its about respect. I will say that sitting on the deck or dock for lunch can be a pretty harmless thing. Using your grill to cook lunch would be different. We typically do not have an issue with the guys wanting to sit outside for lunch and as long as they are not sitting in a clients chair or using the owners things, its fine. It is nice to have lunch near the water, but it is a fine line.

I cannot believe they even brought the DOG, I just cannot get over that.

Same thing as Boo, we have worked our crew down to a really good group of guys, that issues like this do not come up.

jmen24 - it is a fine line. That day I wanted to eat with my kids out on the deck but those guys had taken the prime deck table and they were out there smoking and eating so I couldn't - it sounds petty now that I describe it! But, they sort of creep into your lifestyle like that.

The dog freaked me out, too, but my kids loved it so what do you do. Those painters were the best and cheapest so no complaints in the end - I can't hire them back now as my wife has told me to, "never have those hillbillies back!"
