I'm mainly talking about contractors working outside visiting customer's houses doing installs. That's never happened before and that is the part in particular that hasn't worked as the contractors are paid per job (sort of), so they cut corners, steal pairs etc. I realise that exchange work and the like has been in house and not in house in the past.
