Handyman Tip – Rushing can make the job Take Longer

Too many times we here stories of the Home Handyman (and professional contractors) rushing to get a job done and causing themselves or others injury. But rushing can also make make your job actually take a lot longer to complete. One thing that is always drummed into your head as an apprentice is:

“Measure twice, cut once”

A simple philosophy that works on more than one level.

How many times have you been in a hurry and only “measured once”, and ended up having to cut twice or more?
