Years ago, when I worked on roofs with my dad, I had a habit nobody knew about.
Before I'd knock on the door to tell the homeowner the work was complete, I would take step back. Sometimes I would cross the street and just look at my work.
No one was watching.
I knew the work was done right. But my eyes were still looking for the smallest thing that could be off. I wanted everything to be perfect.
A lot has changed since then, but that part has not.
Quality is what you care about when no one is watching.
That is still the Craftsmen Way.
