Punch out: The list goes on.

Which one is the contractor?

The benefit of hiring a general contractor is that you now have somewhere to direct your gripes. In our traditional relationship of construction Alli gripes to me about fit, finish and detail and I in turn go back to my shed and weep softly. Now together we have formed a gripe alliance and our treaty is the project "punch list". As the work draws down we put on our "designer hats" (no not those designer hats) and nit pick the finish quality of everything until the contractor quits. This is a time honored tradition and I'll be damned if i can't pick a nit better than most.

In the modern era between working professionals these gripes are never really verbalized but rather volleyed back and forth as camera phone photographed grievances. scanning through the photos that pile up I occassionally come across these grainy images in no order that were snapped when someone saw something they didn't like and didn't want to forget. I present to you in no particular order the badminton match that is our passively aggressive traded cell phone photographs. If a picture be worth a thousand words then truely a text messaged photo of poor jobsite maintenance is worth a marital counseling session at least.

now that's some good carpentry
