And you\u2019ve only just read it,\u201d Courtney protests. \u201cNine in Six, who never miss a single beat and who have had our plans for over a month now have missed a detail, which is impossible because they never miss a detail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Dan\u2019s having none of it. He says Nine in Six are looking for structural issues, not tiny details, and with five huge houses to supervise it\u2019s not unreasonable that something so small, and, he argues, quite easy to fix, was overlooked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">\u201cShe should have looked at the specs of the Plungie pool and realised it wouldn\u2019t have worked the way they designed it.
