Good job, and you got what you wanted.

They do. its easier to standard then to do extra work because you may not pay for them.
when I was starting out, I suggest all kinds of crazy ways of over building. Some people pay for it, some think that I am a thief, over building just to squeeze money out of them. Words finally got around that we over engineer and build. some of those guys come to us to problem solve. We not get the screwed up job site that's all the way with limited access on top of the hill hanging over a cliff.
