Yeah, but we don't wanna find ourselves in court up against Bryan, saying our Merstyer Meters are worthless pieces of shit.
When I 1st began in construction it was as an electrical gopher and my Grandfather taught me to wet my finger and stick it in the empty light socket. I'm the bright one in the family that did not enjoy electrical work, despite the technical advances of Voltage meters. They called me Sparky for a reason. We all know that common sense approaches to collecting of information, and understanding just what information needs to be collected, go beyond the world-view of lawyers.
Reminds me of the hour of deposition in which the young female lawyer was running along a line convinced that the drainage mat, as mentioned in the project documentation, that we had installed under the terrace pavers implicated us in the leak at the drain body. Yes and no answers... eventually she broke down and asked me right out, "So what connection is there between the drainage mat and the drain." To which I replied, "None that I know of." Took the wind out of that inquiry rather abruptly.
Now then, I had a much worse time with the young male lawyer who did not seem to understand that I could go through life forgetting which building I had visited and when and how many times and what I may or may not have seen or said during such visit, five years ago. My memory is photographic, not anal.
I like my lawyer very much.
