This one is just so darned stupid that it really pained me to have
to bring this to their attention. Some careless idiot tacked up
the plywood inside the garage door sealed a juice box behind the
plywood. I noticed it when taking the wide-angle view of the garage
door opening that there was some weird artifacts in the picture to
the right of the door where the plywood stopped just above a
horizontal support brace. Upon closer inspection, I saw the juice
box plain as day.
Of all of the mistakes that have been made so far, this is the one
I found to be completely intolerable and inexcusable. Now, I've
come to learn that job sites tend to be less-than-tidy places...if
not downright slovenly. But this person could not miss the juice
box sitting there as they were tacking up the piece of plywood and
then intentionally went ahead and sealed it into that space.
It had to be intent or carelessness because there was no way the
thing could be missed.
There is a certain level of professionalism I was presuming I didn't
have to manage on this job and I was dismayed that I had to even
deal with this one. There should be a minimum standard of if
you see something that isn't right, correct it or get the right
party to fix it. In this case, it could have been solved by
getting the box out of there, then tacking it up. That juice box
was a potential fire hazard and invites vermin into the walls...and
no carpenter, regardless of nationality would want that in their
wall spaces, so why in the world would someone think we would
want it in ours?!?
GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
To their credit, the sales staff and the superintendent were
appropriately horrified when they found out about it and the juice
box was removed when the insulation was installed (requiring the
plywood to be taken down).
But gee whiz guys...why couldn't this have been avoided in the first
place?!? Especially something like this that would have taken all
of five seconds to dispose of rather than letting the customer
catch it first.
