Struggling with a building manager who moves my tools mid-job
I was setting up a new alarm panel in an office building yesterday. The manager kept coming by and shifting my drill and testers to 'tidy up.' It happened three times, and I lost track of where things were. This slowed me down a lot, and I had to keep searching for my gear. Has anyone dealt with something like this? How do you politely ask people to leave your stuff alone when you're working? I don't want to cause a fuss, but it's really annoying.

Dealt with this exact thing on a site last month. The foreman would shift my ladder every time I turned around, and I wasted so much time looking for it. Maybe it's just me, but people need to let you work.

Ever tried bright tape on the ladder feet, since it saved me a ton of time last month?

I started painting a bright line around my ladder's feet with chalk. That way, if it moved, I could see exactly where it belonged and put it back fast. It cut down my search time by half and kept the foreman from bothering me.
