Dealt with a similar situation installing carpet last year. The homeowner kept pulling the padding out of alignment while I was cutting. Had to patiently redo a whole section because the seams bunched up. I learned to kindly but firmly ask them to let me handle the tricky parts. It saves everyone time and stress in the long run. Some people just really want to be involved in the project.

Feel this so hard. Checking the air quality app is just part of the routine now, crazy how normal that is. Glad your work is switching to hybrid vans, @park.abby, we need that kind of big change everywhere.
