Yup,the struggle continues frown

They want timers added. They want the stuff placed higher, lower, or not put in at all. They want it fixed, but nothing changed. The hack work they fired the incompetent contractor over is now sacred, and they don't want the obvious support issues addressed, for fear that it will cost more and take time. They want me to do "Dept A" now, later, or not at all.

It's amazing how quick folks are to say 'my way or the highway.' I think they've become so accustomed to untrained hacks that they simply can't imagine what good work looks like. Ask any engineer here- the guys doing the work are little more than retarded chimps with tool belts. Safety is paramount- but don't bother us with that pesky NEC thing!

Hundreds of these things to do, and they want me to 'scavenge' parts?

I submit that this place has had so many bad experiences with bad contractors simply because .... they want hack contractors. They're a bad customer.
