Most crews would shrug off a spouse pointing out a flaw in the install. I stopped and fixed it right away, which saved a callback. How do you deal with family critiques on the job?

How do you separate useful family feedback from just plain nitpicking?

My own dad is my harshest critic, and he's usually right. Those free quality control checks from family keep you honest and save real headaches later. Just gotta swallow your pride and listen.

Family eyes catch things we miss! My brother spotted a measurement error on my last project. I was ready to move on, but his catch prevented a huge rework later. It stung a bit to hear it, but saving that time was totally worth it.
