Keeler v. Mike Fretz Homes (Okla. Civ. App. 2007)
Simplified outcome: Site photos admitted; outcome turned on estimates and testimony about staging impact.
Yard lesson: Condition photos plus scope narrative beat verbal handback.
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.
Mobile office vendors hear the box was trashed on return. GCs withhold progress draws. Without pickup interior photos compared to drop baseline, you argue janitorial standards by phone.
Office lane plus receipts mirror trailer enclosed stakes at a lower drama level but same sequence logic.
Finish pickup with interior steps, not a windshield photo.
Office lane closes the box loop: delivery, interior baseline, handback photos.
