What if you need something built from pallets?
As a kid I did a lot of work for others, mowing, hay, roofing, painting on ladders, tearing down buildings, chainsaws, tractors on hillsides, etc. one was a schoolteacher hired me to tear out a fire damaged room. Suing someone if we got hurt was not even a thought. Just wasn’t done then.
I think we need lawsuit reforms.

lawsuit reforms? i agree.....how?
The politician/lawyers make the laws, interpret that laws and choose how and when to enforce the laws.
they have invented a huge industry based on suing people.
Ever see a lawyer commercial that says.....
You pay nothing unless you win. what do you think that promotes? and that guy with white hair creeps me out.
I'm really not trying to be a jerk but most people's exposure to lawyers and the legal system is a real estate closing, he//, out west they don't even use lawyers!
I'm telling you, get deep between 2 lawyers, theirs and yours, and you soon realize they are both working together to get every penny from you they can. That's the scary part, your own lawyer is working against you.
Nothing will ever change until we get term limits.

I would do that but as soon as the neighbour hires one they would be suing each other over dandelion fluff and the definition of "weed". It would take them five years to mow my lawn once and cost $2.2M

During the summer time some states have ''put a teen to work'' programs.
Check this out in your area. There is constant adult on sight over seeing the work/activity.
This is not just for working in the public parks etc. Your area of required work will be accessed for safety.
Important factor here is the program itself is helping you out as well as teens wanting to work. You pay but there is a city/state employee over seeing the workers.

My brother was working one summer for the township, had a running chainsaw dropped on him, no safety equipment in use. He was holding ladder for another guy cutting branches from the ladder. He got some cuts.

Yes... and these types of things are called "accidents". Now, back in the olden days, when an accident happened, we shrugged it off and no harm, no foul. Today, an accident is a lottery ticket; bigger the damage, the bigger the payout... Try being in business today, it's brutal and expensive to cover all the bases.

Why projects cost so much and take so long to get done any more.

You had me until the last line but that’s for another day.
You may have heard the story about a town with one starving lawyer. He was in pitiful financial shape until another lawyer moved to town. In a year they were both rich.
Lawyers are like a pair of scissor. They cut up everything that comes between them but only sharpen themselves.
