Every once in a while, and perhaps too frequently, pure construction idiocy is encountered on the job site. Battling this idiocy is constant hardship for the builder, who also needs to watch out for entrapment by his own personal idiocy. A challenge we have had lately, a growing trend in the industry unfortunately, is tradespeople that have little concept of responsibility or respect for the project. This is manifested in many ways, usually I see it as thoughtlessly leaving some hardship for the next person, or damaging other work due to carelessness. Simple tasks like closing doors (and locking them) is often too much to ask. Just tonight I did my ritual drive by of the project and of course the front door is flapping open in the -13 C winter darkness. And I am pretty sure I know who did it...and that crew has earned the construction idiocy award for valentines day 2018.
