I got the rolling eyes look from the realtor the other day when I wrote up a loose shower door handle, because the handle screws were banging on the glass due the plactic bushings missing on the holes drilled thru the door for the handle.

Maybe I should send her this link :)

Brand new high end apartment on the waterfront, the glass shower door strikes a granite counter top. I called for a rubber bumper. It's no deal-killer. The realtor agreed it was not cool, but an easy fix. I'll never know if the builder rolled his eyes, but it was on his to-do list. :D

Don't worry about the realtors eyes rolling. Remember who you're working for (who's writing the check). Keep you're clients safety and best interest in mind always. I use this comment before giving some of these sorts of issues "I may be being a little bit picky here but...". This usually gets the client to say "that's why I hired you".

One of my most hilarious moments happened several years ago in a "flipper" house. The sliding shower door had a loose clamp at the upper roller. The flipper was there and was bitching because I was writing up a "minor" repair. He said "if I fix it while you are here does it need to go in the report?" I told him go for it. Needless to say, I ended up writing up a shattered shower door. It was kind of satisfying when I heard the sound:D
