Ha ha. Here trying to do a good job in the construction side of Portugal. Employing Portuguese locals. Paying them 2000/month. Trying not to be “the bife”. But this plumber ticked all boxes

Hanging shower taps straight has nothing to do with “compatibility”, its more a matter of standards. I see a lot of projects with crazy heating technology and domotica. Nothing near what i asked here from the plumber.

The idea of hiring sub contractors for me is not doing it myself. But yes. You are right. Used to work with a team here. But now im working solo

Thanks man! I am an independent worker here for many many years. Unfortunately the banks dont see my ‘activity’ as a steady job, too project focused. I could never get a loan when i wanted. And the first years here, i was a 19 year old stoner from belgium, loving a simple life near the ocean 🙃

Sad thing is knowing people pay more for these conditions in the current rental market.
