Dusty, Jason, and I talk about what to do when your customer calls in the day before an inspection. We all have been there. They give you a list of items and they all need to be fixed by tomorrow. We do our best to triage what we can and order parts for the rest. Why does the customer do this, and how can we prevent it. Take a listen and let us know what your thoughts are on this topic!
