Last Tuesday was the worst day I've had on a job site in years...
We had a crew of five show up to texture a 2,500 square foot house and the hopper gun clogged three times before lunch. The homeowner stood there watching the whole time, which just made everyone nervous and slow. Has anyone else dealt with a client hovering like that while you're trying to fix a mess?

Just tell him straight up he's making the crew nervous. Say "Hey man, I gotta focus on this clog. Give me 20 minutes." Most guys back off if you're direct.

Respectfully, being that direct can backfire depending on the guy. Some people get defensive or take it personal lol. A softer approach like "hey man, mind if I focus up for a bit? this clog's a pain" usually works without making things awkward.
