It doesn't help that any trade related work is both bullshit expensive, and terrible quality.

Go ahead and try and get a price on installing insulation. It'll be infinite dollars and the blokes that turn up (in a dual cab Ranger) to do the job will be in and out in 15 minutes having done the barest possible minimum and leaving you to deal with all the issues they've created by half-arsing it.

Yep. Been dealing with tradie problems just like this the past few months. Was sometimes shocked at what they’d leave behind for me to clean up.
