Andy, I feel for you because this country has become a nation of lazy prima donnas (we used to be able to cull them because they were a small minority), but if this is actually from the plans:
And if I understand design intent correctly - board and batten, with holes centered on the battens - you need to lay blame on your architect or draftsman. The cutout piece you showed matches those plans - the proper way to draw what I interpret the design intent to be is:

I definitely see the rationale for killing water and power to a whole area depending on what needs changed or who is doing the framing (
) but I'm unclear on this. Did the guy bull around and break charged pipes? Or somebody cut a charged line without thinking?I work around live utilities all the time and i just need to be careful?

You are much more careful than the hired , know it all worker ! Unfortunately it's slim pickings in the job market.
It can be a combination of things-
Movement being primary
Not enough fasteners also will contribute to panel movement
In some situations adhesive is needed too
Typically if it’s the first year of new work you’ve got some kind of settling or change or shrinkage-
If you’re going to fix the area you need to go ahead and add a few screws on either side

Well he should have had the water off regardless- You can have an improperly seated fitting and the next person that touches it is the loser- You can have a line somewhere you would not believe for instance one time one was ran through the front apron of a bathtub that I cut into- Think about that- the front apron- A creative plumber was in a basement and needed to get water from one side of the room to the other.
In our case he dropped a sink and it fell straight down in clipped off one of the stub outs. PVC is horribly brittle.
Thanks AndyG ! I actually appreciate a qualified opinion ! I hope your day goes smoothly , get done with work and take the Rubi for a spin !
Buddy I’m trying it is absolutely gorgeous my wife is in Greece and @Hog is coming up- We are just trying to stay out of jail
Good plan ! You better leave the Corvette out of the picture. Hope you guys have a blast and let off steam!
Well funny you mention that car- it’s kind of breezy today and that thing rides below the wind and I think I’m fixing to pull the targa top out in a little while and see if I can’t relieve some stress with my right foot.
I’m not a grammar/spelling cop or anything but, DAMN. Copy and pasted his from another conversation on here and didn’t want to criticize this person’s first post, but it makes me sad to see a twenty seven year old with such poor abilities. Or maybe it’s just cool these days?

At the risk of out-Zorbaing Zorba, it's what happens when the #1 mode of communication is texting and the number one device is a smart phone. Texting and smart phones have highlighted or created these problems:
- Inefficiency due to typing with thumbs only
- A small keyboard with no tactile feedback
- A half-witted auto-correct system to guess at the words you meant to type
- Users enamored with using an excessive amount of abbreviations due to the inefficiency of typing with thumbs, along with the cool factor
- Users in too much of a hurry to proof-read their writing
The language is being morphed, and eventually grammar, spelling, etc. will be permanently changed. And not for the better, IYAM. (see what I did there? Like I said, us old fellers aren't perfect)
Since I've retired, I haven't had to try to read the texts from the younger guys anymore. I'd see those and my heart rate would go up. My knuckles would start hurting as I'd have flashbacks of Mrs. Kuska's 4th grade class. Images of that old broad wielding her wood ruler like a club and cracking little hands with every mis-use of the English language uttered by a 10 year old still come back to haunt me.
You said LS now @Wildman will close the thread and you'll be banned.
Sorry man , I meant to say modified wedge fake hemi.... no I really did.....
My kids’ teachers are no better. Their emails have words missing, misspelled, poor grammar, incorrect they’re/their/there choices … but at least they’re decorated with emojis!
Soon we’ll all be communicating via Neuralink and won’t need language anymore anyway.

Before I moved my next door neighbor who…..whom is a school teacher spread table salt all over our common flowerbed. That was pretty devastating to all the flowers. School teacher. I always assumed school teachers were very brainy. Nah.
Since @sab corrected and made fun of this “OLD” man I just had to state I’m not sure if the correct use of who/whom is.
