Lack of workers in Kelowna

People often say that it is hard to find labour in Kelowna and I always thought, " How Pessimistic !" The situation cannot be as bad as the media makes it look like but believe me, it's very true. For the past few months I have been thinking of getting a deck made in my backyard and I am having a hard time finding good construction workers. I had to call this one guy 10 times( literally) before he showed up. He was supposed to meet us one evening - Appointment was for 5.30 pm and it was almost 7.30 pm before he actually came to meet us.

This other guy who helped build us a portion of our house and whom I have been calling for many weeks is just too busy to return my calls. I am wondering if he is actually busy or just being elusive like a debtor trying to run away from creditors. All said and done I finally managed to get a quote from one of company and they quoted me $11,000 for the whole project and i am thinking this summer I might start building decks and Patio's ( surely seems like a well paying job).
