Hired this kid last month to help with general repairs, and he straight up ruined a $450 kitchen faucet install by stripping the threads with the wrong DeWalt bit. I was charging $75/hr for the whole gig, but now I'm out the time and materials fixing his mess. Anyone else dealing with unreliable help on handyman jobs?

Haha, sounds like my first apprentice who thought a DeWalt was a hammer, turned a simple lock install into a door frame demolition derby.

Damn, that's rough. Always demo the basics yourself first, I lost a $200 job when my guy flooded the place testing a submersible pump without shutting off the main.
