Default using other contractor's penetrations

Reminds me of the one time I was helping extend some HVAC duct work. The
other fellow had spent all day cutting a rectangle shaped hole in a
cinderblock wall. We came back the next day, the cable TV installer had run
a wire diagonally through our hard won duct hole. I suggested taking the
wire out with diags.

I was doing some control work with an engineer friend of mine I had met
when we worked on a construction project for The Star Wars "SDI" program
back in the 80's and we were installing a large HVAC control system for
a new school in the 90's and on that job, one of the young don't give a
damn electricians decided to cut and pull our control wire out of a roof
penetration conduit so he could use it. The conduit was 40' in the air
and luckily one of the other electricians told us before the ceiling was
installed. The kid's excuse for ripping out our wire was that it was in
his way and when asked why he didn't tell us so we could handle the
problem was the fact that we weren't there that day. I don't know if
personal civilian Tasers were available at the time but I would have
liked to have owned one. ^_^
