I am being blamed for a design conflict or undocumented verbal change

Reconstruct the timeline. Pull photos, texts, revision dates, and verbal-direction notes before accepting blame or starting rework.

Stop if

• I'm being asked about this rework. I have photos/texts and the drawing history. Can we review the timeline before I start removing anything?

Watch out

• Do not delete messages, argue, or start demolition without confirmed scope.

Check

• Collect photos/texts/notes from install date.
• Write a simple timeline: who, what, when, where.
• Compare installed work to drawing/revision available at the time.
• Bring timeline to foreman first.
• Do not remove work until scope/responsibility is clear.
