      I get that this is mildlyinfuriating, but a single instance of maybe an inch of misalignment in an install like that is damn impressive.

          I take it you haven’t done T-bar ceiling install, or pretty much any real world installations. You start with a plan and then 6 other factors pop up.

          Stuff like this makes me twitch too, but usually I’m looking for the cause/train of thought/error that lead to it. Often I’ll work backwards far enough to realize shits like that because it is.

      They’re very very close. I assure you, it could be far worse.

      Also, that doesn’t seem like something that a person would casually notice unless they stared at it for a long time.

        Maybe not you…I can’t unsee shit like that. I can’t look at paintings in homes near airports… There’s a lot of people who easily see misalignments of a fraction of a degree without trying

        And it’s always worse from a distance, always worse in person
