Once upon a time, as a businessman, I needed some plumbing repaired.
I called my friend, who was a welder, pipefitter, mechanic, etc.
He repaired the pipe. A year later, right after I sold the building,
the repair failed. The buyer brought in his licensed plumber, who
recognized the non-professional work, and reported it to the owner.
He contacted me and demanded I pay for the repairs by his plumber.
I talked to my lawyer about this (after all, it was his building,
now), and my lawyer explained that if we went to court, it would
go something like this:
- Each of os shows up in court with our plumbers.
- The judge asks for their licensing information.
- Oops - one of us doesn't have a license.
- Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of the bill plus court costs.
Moral of the story: Use licensed contractors, ESPECIALLY, if you
are in business.
Regards,
George
