Control Freak

I heard a good one about a spec builder who sold a house to a nice young (very high profile) couple to the tune of a lot of $.
The couple, now feverishly trying to make a few adjustments to make it their own, hired their friend a successful decorator and close college pal, to do the project.
Upon finding this out the builder threw a tantrum saying that he did not see how he could honor his guarantees, and it was really not advisable, and this “is not how we do things in the Hamptons”
I guess the buyers made the common mistake of thinking the house was theirs.

is this because the builder also fancies himself a decorator?
