The problem: the employee, though reliable and steady, has
demonstrated some rather bad traits in his first month of

You're installing a built-in over the customer's very nice

professional to do the cleanup, or just install the
cabinetry over the rug? There are pros and cons to each of

a simple change in technique solve the problem?
