My favorite was a general contractor who asked me how I was going to contact
a double door with sidelights and a 3 panel solid transom window.  I told
him I was going to drill through two of the divider posts in the transom and
then drill over size holes to match through the top beam of the door, and
then drill 3/8 holes through the door jamb head.  Then if his guys needed
help we would stand there on ladders and guide the wires through everything
while they set the window.  When we were finished I turned to ask the
general who was watching the whole time what he thought.  His face was
beaded with sweat running down, and he said, "You will never do that again!
I'll make sure there is room for you to go around. from now on."

Years later he still remember when I drilled through that window.  I would
just remind him I did it then and I have that many more years experience
now.
