Overheard a older fence guy say 'measure twice, curse once' and I keep thinking about it
Was at the supply yard last Tuesday picking up some PT for a job in Bristow, and this old timer behind me muttered that under his breath after the guy at the counter messed up an order. It's got me thinking about how much time I waste re-digging or re-cutting because I rush the first go. Anyone else find their best jobs come from just slowing down the math part?

How many times did you re-cut that same board before you finally measured right?

Pretty sure @reeseperez owes us a body count on that one.

Oh man, I've done that way more times than I'd ever admit to anyone.

Why do we always measure twice, cut once, but act like we got it right the first time?
