Just a few pics to ponder
Always like taking pics of stuff I find. One guy was too lazy to pull the cover plates off before the backsplash was installed! AND NO!! I DID NOT DO THIS WORK! Came onto these jobs after the fact and had to take photo's of the work.

If I was the HO, I would be highly irate about the tile.
That is actually the opposite problem I usually see - the tile guys will tile so close to the device (plates off) that it is almost impossible to remove it!

The plates should not have been put on before the tile guy came in anyway. The boxes are probably recessed too far anyway.
Talk about lazy when using the ductwork as an attachment point.

Take a real, close look at the tile job.
Not only is the tilesetter too lazy to remove the covers, he's too lazy to notch the tiles.
They're all installed with straight cuts!!!
One of them (blue arrow) isn't even staight! Looks more like the tile was broken instead of cut.
If that has my home, I'd puke, then fire his arse. Even the roofer would be ashamed of that level of 'craftsmanship'.
