I remember an occasion where I had just explained the deficiency of the baluster spacing and the Client's child became stuck in the rail.

Sad but ironic...

These three rascals were running around the inspection the entire time I was on site. As I got to the Stairs, and I thought hmmmm this would make a good Defect Picture.
