Ask Foreman
Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Not squaring the layout line before scribing, resulting in parallelogram cuts. What’s the approved correction for this job?
Do not
Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
