Master carpenter trainee here. Customer is upset because I correctly installed the fence around the tree instead of cutting it down, and now I’m being told it “looks wrong” and “wasn’t what they expected,” even though this is literally how fences are supposed to be built when there’s a mature tree in the property line. The fence is straight, level, code-compliant, and allows for future tree growth — but somehow that’s a problem because it’s not a perfect rectangle. Apparently the expectation was for me to defy biology and geometry at the same time. I explained that trees grow, fences don’t, and this prevents future damage, but they’re convinced it’s lazy or unprofessional despite it being the textbook correct install. Now they want it redone even though nothing is wrong other than their personal feelings. Love when a job is done right and the only issue is the customer googled for 30 seconds and decided they know more than the person who built it. Credit - ikhlas
