Working with my dad for alot of years, and remembering growing up what his Dad always told me, I was raised with the idea that if a job was worth doing it was worth doing right, and if you didn't have time to do it right the first time where were you going to find the time to do it again.
Early on I had another true bossman who had a saying he liked that, "They only make so many types of parts, it just depends on how you put them together as to what they do". I've found this to be true many, many times over the years.
