Every day growing up in the queens land my father would wake up at 5am sharp, never any later. He would quietly make his way to the shed with his tea and crumpet and check his lumber for straightness. He would only emerge once every piece of lumber had its straightness checked, verified and recorded. And god help you if you interrupt this process
