Uncle Ikey's Last Words #14


when yer cuttin somethin
its a sight better ta go wrong
by bein a little too long
than by bein too short

takin away tends ta be
a heck of a lot easier
than addin to

Having learned the hard way, back when my son and I did a lot of remodeling, one of us measured and the other checked and cut . . . generally a foolproof method, and a way of working on our relationship that endures to this day.

Wise words from Uncle Ikey. Too bad he didn't follow his own advice. :)

My Uncle Ikey always said, "measure twice, cut once."
