During one bathroom remodel, everything measured “close enough.” That phrase cost weeks. Tiles didn’t line up. Cabinets hit the wall. A vanity pipe needed re-routing.
That’s when I learned that measuring tools might be the least glamorous but the most important.
A digital level, stud finder, chalk line, and a square take guesswork out of renovation. They prevent gaps, crooked seams, and sudden “why doesn’t this fit?” moments.
Now, before cutting or drilling, I pause. Measure twice. Sometimes three times. It sounds slow but it saves time in the end.
