When I was helping the wood worker he wanted me to see the design of what was being built and went through the sequence of steps to the end…..and then he would let me help him on the project. He taught me to think through beginning to end, a few times, before I start….and to expect the unexpected but with a positive attitude. The planning part did help a lot on the remodel we did though.……still mistakes, but hey I just adjusted and learned, well sometimes maybe with a flash of crazy too
