That time I misread the plans and built a 9-foot wall instead of 8
It was on a big house job in Springfield, and I was rushing to finish the garden wall before the rain hit. I set the line at 9 feet without double checking the architect's drawing. The client came out and just stared at it, saying 'That looks way too tall for the patio.' I had to tear down the whole top course and redo it, losing a whole morning. Anyone else ever messed up a measurement that bad on a simple job?

Ever mark your tape with a sharpie for the right height? Saves my butt now.

Doesn't that rub off after a while? I just remember the number, marking it seems like extra work.
