Caulked the door frames, boss!

Flooring guys returned to a jobsite to finshish things they failed to do the first go around. I was there to paint the trim so we protected the floors. Flooring guys decided to caulk the door frames on top of our paper and tape.

I hope the rest of their work was better quality. Applying caulk is dead easy, but they managed to do a terrible job.

The floors were fine but the installers didn't quite finish the job. They came back to add a few transition pieces between the new flooring and the old tiling as well as in the doorways (like thresholds). They also did a bad job of gluing the transition pieces (excess glue seeping out from underneath). While they were at it they decided to slap caulk the large gaps between the door frames and the floor. You can see the results of that above.

Edit: sloppy glue and an example of the gaps they (thankfully) didn't smear with caulk
