- Money: Perimeter disputes eat crew days · proof link ends the thread faster.
- Habit: Line set + gate clear every install · no sketch on a napkin.
Nightmare avoided
Monday wind, Friday finger
What goes wrong: Storm weekend. Monday email: your fence hit a pedestrian path. You set Thursday but never sent set photos. GC withholds invoice.
What receipts change: Set-day proof with gates and tie points gives a dated baseline before weather arguments start.

Dinucci v. Lis (Ohio Ct. App. 2005)
Simplified outcome: Property condition photos supported a small award on one claim while other nuisance claims failed.
Yard lesson: Show the specific harm you are defending, not a generic jobsite album.
Not legal advice. FieldDrop is documentation tooling only. Linked cases are public sources; outcomes depend on facts and jurisdiction. Read the original opinions before relying on them.
Temp fence fights are timeline fights. GC says your line was loose before the gust. You say the site moved panels. Without dated set photos and gate clearance, everyone improvises.
Insurance and GC emails want sequence: line before weather, damage after, gates still clear. One proof link beats a camera roll the superintendent deleted.
Fence lane documents line set and blowdown context without promising engineering sign-off.
Fence lane documents line set and gate clear · perimeter proof without a dispatch board.
