Nah, we just went up and fixed it. I think I did it while the guy on the ground eyeballed it... It's weird how it's impossible to see up close, but from 40 feet away humans can tell to a fraction of a percent, I was tapping it with a wrench to dial it in based on the intensity of hand gestures. Honestly, we were more impressed by how he spotted it at a glance, it's not like we did shoddy work - it was barely not tongue click, as he put it
It helped that I liked the engineer. Always cheerful and he gave me mini multi tool pliers for my birthday. Totally unexpected and not expensive, but I've got them right next to me right now, I still use them years later. And he was like that to everyone - he was a stickler for the details, but actually took an interest in us as people
Just a good guy all around. It's hard to be upset with someone like that, even when they make you redo work now and then
