One of my wife's favorites was "pros" screwing up and nobody saying
anything.
The framers screwed up the truss package and there was a 2x4 sticking
out into the room. The rockers drywalled around it, the trim carpenter
put crown around it and the painters painted it. She caught it doing
the QA where another FM looks at a colleague's house.
She says guys never look up.

Then there was the house they built in the road. (it was on the wrong
side of the survey stakes). Nobody caught that either. They ended up
having to replat the road. and swap 4 lots. It was lucky they didn't
do the house behind it yet. That is the danger when you are prairie
building
