DADISM # 54

"Measure twice, cut once."

{Made famous by Norm Abram of This Old House fame, this classic ditty is the rule for all do-it-yourselfers as well as professionals.}

It is guaranteed that all men will ignore this advice at least once, resulting in wasted lumber, too-small carpet remnants and excess wallpaper scraps. Everyone, except Norm that is.
