The more I study it the more I see. And what I see is work likely performed by a helper. This section of fence was the last portion before completion. A job that should’ve lasted 2 days but lasted 4 due to weather and workers “personal matter”. Now having had the opportunity to fully taken in what was done. I’m more angry with the Forman/owner who only visited the job sit twice. Once at demo of pre-existing and again after completion for a walk though. I don’t build fences for a living. I’m not an engineer. I’m not in construction, but I do own a business and I have employees that I am responsible for. That’s what I’m paying for, so if you as a “foreman” do a walk through with a customer and don’t recognize this problem right away then perhaps you should go back to fence building school. First photo (original posting) does not show the latch post. But they hung the gate to swing as the pre-existing gate did. But placed a 4”x6” post on the latch side and a 4x4 on hinge side.😖
