You need to point to this debacle and tell the client that with the level of lighting control you've installed, all changes are to be coordinated through you. This is ridiculous.

It would be a bit more obvious if the photographer had taken the shot from directly in front of the panels, though. It's hard to see that one is out of level. Hell, I'd even have held a level up in front of the two.

An electrician once complained that I didn't put my volume controls in line with his light switches. I had to ask: did he want me to angle them off level at the same angle as his covers? Or put them at the same height as his plates? And since his weren't level, should I line up with the plate screws on the left, or those on the right?

Erinie, I took the photo with my cellphone. Who gives a flying *#%} about the photo properly showing the two boxes are out of level? For one, you can see that they aren't inline, even if the photo isn't court quality. But more importantly, on the left you have a $600 keypad connected to a fully flexible central located lighting control system. On the right, you have a $4 decora light switch from Home Depot. It doesn't even matter that I have 3 witnesses that can verify my box was mounted first. He should have called me and said "hey, you know our mutual client, that happens to be a big shot attorney in multiple states, well, his wife wants to add a light in her office.

Oh yeah, did you catch that last part? Sparky may be screwed and royally fried.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.
