No, im not that bad, typically I make a mistake only once, its usually fixable (unless I lose my temper), learn from it or a better way and it never happens again...and I am a master of "figuring", I can find out how something is done, sit and think on it for awhile and usually come up with an idiot proof way for me to do it. I learned a long time ago that if something can go wrong, it will...thus I strive to take all possible precautions, both before and during a job!! That guy must have had crazy skills to do that!
