OCD is such a sad, sad thing . . .

Agreed, but that is why I said it depends. A homeowner may not like the fact that the sequence does not continue through the corner, while another may never have noticed the original problem to begin with.

I write down everything I see and let the client decide 'how anal'.

Multiple short runs to use up scrap, overlap toward the direction from which the wall is usually viewed... stuff like that.

The general problem is: "Where does it end?"

What about the room with all that nice cherry wainscoting and trim, and that single-panel hollow core cherry veneer door?

Or, how about the general interior detailing of a typical Chicago condo “loftâ€

I understand your point. But for me, it isn't a difficult decision.

* Errors get mentioned.

* Design choices don't (unless they have some practical impact).

Hi, Jim

I kinda get what you're saying and kinda don't. I assume that what you mean by practical impact is some kind of functional malfunction [:-slaphap that would result in some kind of mechanical failure/damage, but if the main function of the item is aesthetic only, and it has been installed in such a way that it will not result in damage, you would not report it. Am I close?

Perhaps one place to start is to divide “aestheticâ€

Nah,

You ain't obsessive. You couldn't be, unless you could look at that balustrade and insist that they screwed up the baluster order and it needed to be a consistent pattern. [:-dev3]

OT - OF!!!
