Stick with the Same Tape Measure

Why accuracy in measurements is more than just a good work practice.

Read or Listen: Proverbs 11

One bit of wisdom that’s always made a lot of sense to me is that it’s always best to use the same tape measure out in the field, and back at the saw. For critical jobs, if you are the one measuring, you should be the one cutting. 

“Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light. Do not have two differing measures in your house—one large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.”  Deuteronomy 25:13-16
