Just realized a client's 'simple' request for a built-in almost cost me a $2000 cabinet job in St. Louis.
He kept insisting we skip the scribe to the wall to save time, saying 'it'll be fine, just caulk it.' Had to walk him through exactly why that fails on an old plaster wall... anyone else deal with clients who don't get the basics?

But is it REALLY that big of a deal? Sometimes caulk IS the right call.

That's the worst, trying to explain why a shortcut ruins the work. Some clients just can't picture how bad a gap gets over time. Good on you for holding the line, man.
