Someone had to post it… it’s okay if you did in the past, well to an extent that is, just stop doing it right now. Stop cutting truss web members to fit your stuff! Over and out. 😉

I have decided that the worst offnders...even worse than plumbers...are the audio-visual guys...the ones the HO got to install that monster plasma tv and the dvd and the dish and all the boom-boom speakers. "The speakers just _have_ to go here and here and here. After we cut the holes for the speakers and the wires etc, the painter can easily touch up the paint. Good painters can make it look just like new...you'll hardly notice the repair, and the sound will be outstanding."
So after slaving for weeks to get every detail right, Larry Darrel and Darrel sweep in on big promises ("We be in and out in no time...won't interrupt any of the dirty trades") and collect a big check.
Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em "Certainly, I can!" Then get busy and find out how to do it. T. Roosevelt
