Got cursed out by a homeowner in Denver for a gate I didn't even install

I showed up to fix a sagging gate on a property in Denver last Tuesday. The lady came out screaming about how I left a 4 inch gap under the bottom. I told her I was just there for the repair and didn't build the original fence. She didn't care, kept yelling about her dogs getting out. Turns out the old crew used cheap pressure treated that warped after one season. Now I take pictures of EVERY existing gap before I touch a single screw. Has anyone else had to deal with blame for somebody else's shoddy work?

Used to think photos were overkill but after getting screamed at for someone else's sloppy work I do the same thing now, it saves your hide.

Honestly @the_miles, seeing that happen to a coworker made me start taking photos too.
