    Already happening in the trades. Good luck finding an electrical company that isn’t booked out for weeks. There is way more work than can be done right now with electricians being extremely hard to hire. So if your electrical quote seems insane, that’s why.

      I wish contractors were only out weeks. Every time I’ve had to have something done it’s been 3 months OR pay double as an emergency, your choice.

        We keep having people come out, express interest in whatever project we need done, make a bunch of promises, then ghost us on getting quotes.

        It’s really weird. Though it’s been about the same for like 15 years now.
