Why are so many people happy to accept OK, instead of perfect? What part of the brain in a tradesperson fails to recognize that a kitchen without shelves in the cabinets is not complete? Mike Holmes (of Holmes On Homes) says it in every episode but if others did it right the first time, he wouldn’t be a TV star.
People say that it’s the squeaky door that gets the oil, but that’s often just a bandaid solution. The broken door gets fixed. It’s a small difference but it underscores what I think is a failing of society. Both doors need to be fixed. But fixing two doors is twice as much work and in our society that places such a high value on couch time, extra works loses every time.
