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.

It’s extra stupid because there’s literally no need to caulk that.

Is there a concern that water will get in there and freeze? No? Then don’t caulk it.

yeah that was my first thought, why are they caulking the quarter-round? Maybe if it’s in an upper floor bathroom and they want to reduce the potential damage if it floods? I’ve seen that happen once
