Practice

# Chapter 109

Practice helps - a lot! My current coronavirus project with my dad, is way way outside of my expertise. And so when I found myself with a few extra hours yesterday I grab ahold of a job that was outside of my range of ability, but I was interested and vested and ready for a challenge. The disassembling part is easier unless you are going to reassemble in another truck door the same day - then you go careful careful careful. Yet because we are using the parts from several doors, none of which were intact, and making them into one door, there is no way to know which order the pieces go back into the door. And trust me, this made a huge difference.

This meant in the end, that I repeatedly put it together, and then had to take it apart again because I ran into a part that could not be put in properly unless I took it all out again. This is called practice. And by the end of the afternoon, a job that would have taken less than hour had I known what I was doing, was complete with about four hours of “practice.” Now I am pretty sure that I could write an instruction manual on how to install each piece and in which order, and maybe I should! Regardless, like with all things in life, practice makes perfect.
