Après les Pâques, that's what I've decided to name this time of year: late enough in the Spring to be past the frost, early enough that the construction crews have yet to swarm.
They're like locusts, and it used to be a great thing for business. But today, all SIX of the construction companies I've spoken with are low-balling me on rates and ducking out looking for "cheaper alternatives." News flash: this is it.
I don't consider it my personal job to finance the works of well-funded construction crews. I don't consider it to be extraordinary for a company to shell out $300 to lodge four guys for a week. I also don't consider it a "group" to have four rooms, or "extended stay" for an unspecified and un-guaranteed length of time.
The downside to construction season: the weather, and cheap bastards. Today seems to be a plague of both.
