Ovals must be a bit of a challenge to clean?
Not at all if they are done professionally and are a nice even oval. If they are done with a hammer as i have seen then yes they are challenging

I'm always curious about what you see, among installs you haven't done.

I'm hyper critical of my own install, and have improvements on my to-do list. Nothing that is safety related.

I'm not sure that it wouldn't be an invasion of privacy in many cases, but pictures of botched installs would be both fun and educational. No pressure, though. You're busy enough as is.
