Re: Why?

If we can we do. Problem is; even if the contractor remembers to schedule us
on door-install-day it means we have to sit there and wait for the door to
go in, put the contact in before they put the casings on. This could mean
we'd be there all day just to put a few contacts on. The timing is bad.
