Inspection Photo of the Day...
     Following instructions is important. When it comes to this department, some folks adopt the attitude: "P-f-f-ft! Instructions? I don't need no stinking instructions!!!" 
     Manufacturers spend a lot of time designing their products for safety. They go through great lengths to tell the end consumer the correct way to install their product. Some instructions are as simple as pouring water out of a boot with instructions on the heel...

The instructions can't be much simpler.  I'll bet the installer didn't get past the 6th grade--most likely he learned his trade in reform school.  Charlie Gantz, Greenwood, IN; J.D., M.B.A.; Owner/Principal Broker, Atlas Property Group, LLC

Hmmmm even I would have gotten that one right without instructions.  How are folks in Nashville recovering from the flood?

This looks like something I would have done so I can't comments on what a "nimrod" the installer happened to be.

Michael,

You have been doing this long enough to know that people hate to follow instructions.

I don't know why the old phrase, "close enough for government work" comes to mind.

Apparently the installer forgot their driver, and the 9 iron just had too much loft.
