Riley said "that foot of difference in angle he thought was fine turned my lift into a twisted mess" and that hits hard. But I gotta say, maybe the real issue isn't just the crane op saying "close enough." It's that we're all running these jobs on tight schedules where nobody wants to be the one slowing things down. The crane guy probably felt rushed by the ground crew or the homeowner watching. I've had ops tell me later they knew they were off but figured they'd "adjust on the fly" cause the client was tapping their watch. Sometimes that foot of error is really a foot of pressure from everyone else standing around not wanting to wait.
