My friend got the same thing, just silence and tissues.

Are you sure those are actually backwards though? I walked that same site last week and a lot of those caps looked fine to me, maybe just a couple got knocked around by the wind we had. The screen side facing out is how a lot of them are made now, it keeps rain from getting in the pipe. Not saying there is never sloppy work, but 14 out of 14 seems like a stretch for a crew that would have failed inspection. Might be worth taking a closer look before calling the whole job garbage.

Six months of brushing oil like you're painting a fence and the answer was sitting in a squeeze bottle the whole time. That is a beautiful tragedy. Here is the part that gets me though, the brush guys always swear the bristles give you "control" and then you watch them lay down a quarter cup of oil on a two egg sear. Next thing you know someone will tell you the grill brick is overrated. Keep asking dumb questions on the line, that is how you stop doing things the hard way.
