[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 84894, member: 272"] Re: OK, THIS pisses me off. I've been there too. I think he's upset that he went out of his way to get all his ducks in a row long beforehand only to have them supply needed-info long after the cut-off deadline to get everything in time for the install. It's not always just an equipment-cost issue but the crew, scaffolding, holdback-on-the -other-trades that may end up costing more than the gear is actually worth if it's not there on time. I think that many people in manufacturers organizations don't understand the necessary "choreography" behind large installs. Things have to be put into play months ahead of time so everything is ready for the exact hour you're permitted to install it. It's also frustrating at how we are at the mercy of shipping companies so we plan even farther out to accomodate their worst-case situation only to find a pallet has been sitting unprepared in a vendor's warehouse so long that it eats up that extra time allocated for worry-free shipping. I've also long ago learned get product painted by my own paint-booth vendor locally or on the jobsite itself as the "custom color" claims of many manufacturers are just way to uncertain as to their timing.
