Lately I've been running across more and more work that, in my opinion, should be done by other trades.

For instance....who's responsibility is it to install ducting for exhaust fans? I usually let the heating contractor do it, simply because I don't have the tools to do it properly....my option would be to run the cheap white spiral plastic dryer ducting for fans, which isn't the best choice.

Another example is cutting out for receptacles and switches in kitchen islands. My tools are not good quality woodworking tools-- they are for rough-cutting only, and I don't like taking the chance of splintering the wood on $30,000 cabinetry.

I would like to hear what the rest of you contractors out there do, and where you draw the line.
