A fire inspector in Tampa told me my hoistway door gap check was sloppy

He said I was just eyeballing it, so now I always break out the feeler gauges first thing. Anyone else get called out on something basic that made you tighten up your routine?

That "eyeballing it" comment would make me double-check everything from then on.

It goes beyond just checking their work. That phrase tells you how they see the whole job. If they're cool with guessing on something visible, what shortcuts are they taking on the stuff you can't see, like wiring inside a wall or the foundation under a deck? You start wondering if every measurement is just a rough estimate.
