Slogan: "nothing strikes fear, in the heart of a carpenter, like seeing the plumber go by with a sawzall in his hands..."
It is intentional. I was doing a motel years ago and the floors were 1 2/8" t&G. Since this would be the finished floor portions had to be "removed" in order to install the plumbing. It so happened that my neighbor was the carpenter foreman, so I asked him to cut the floors so I could put the plumbing in. He said, "That is the finished floor, so once we put it down we are done with it". I told him, "That once I cut the piece out, he would have to put it back and it would be a lot easier for him to replace a piece he took out, than the one I intended to remove." He decided it would be better to cut the floors himself.
