George,
Tell me the truth; are you that nightmare customer that drives us nuts telling us how to do our job?
I only ask because when I have a customer that wants to know the technical side of how we are doing their job I will educate them with as much information as they want to know. I have never loaned out my fab manuals but I don’t think I would have a problem doing so if the customer wanted to read it, because I really have nothing to hide. It just makes me wonder what is going on in your world. It sounds as though you are having or just had a job done and are maybe not so happy with the work, or perhaps just not happy with the fabricator.
Have you tried to find this information out from the company doing the work or are you trying to find something they did wrong so you can get a discount? Do you not trust them so you would not believe them if you did ask them these questions? I have read some of your other posts and I don’t think you will be offended by me asking these questions, if you are I apologize. I am just curious about why you coming to us for this information and not the company doing the work.
Shane
