What's correct?

Hello.

I wonder how to say if I want to note that person whom I'm turning to didn't ruin the project or something important.

Is it correct to say like that: "It's nice to see you didn't ruin the project"?

Thanks.

Hi, That sounds like you are a bit surpised that he or she didn't ruin it. Not a good thing to say. Why not say something positive?

Thank you! I asked that question in order to find out whether I can use such a grammar.

Hi,

Yes, it's a correct sentence.

To restate what Clive said, however, I would be quite insulted to receive that. It would tell me you thought I was going to ruin it and that you thought I was a bad at my job. Or maybe you thought I had bad intentions and would ruin it on purpose.

Thank you too! Yes, I know it's not a very courteous proporsal but I wasn't quite sure about its grammar and decided to check it.
