One of those weeks where everything went sideways on the job site

Last Monday we started a crown molding install in a new build over in Oakwood, and by Wednesday I had already snapped three pieces because the miter saw blade was dull. The homeowner was watching me like a hawk after I told him the wood had too much moisture, but he insisted we keep going. Then my apprentice dropped a 12-foot section of poplar and it cracked right down the middle. By Friday I had to reorder $400 worth of material and push the whole timeline back a week. The worst part was the homeowner blamed me for not checking the wood sooner, even though I told him from the start it was iffy. Has anyone else had a job spiral like that where you just couldn't catch a break?

Wow people NEVER listen to the experts until AFTER things go wrong, it's a pattern I see EVERYWHERE.

Did the homeowner ever acknowledge that you warned him about the moisture issue?
