Thanks for the encouragement and insight!

I'm just a perfectionist at heart. Good news, it doesn't prevent me from doing DIY projects, just creates some delay starting projects sometimes. I just easily see what's not perfect in my final projects, if anything, which is becoming less over time. The things my critical eye notices that my wife and brother don't see always leads to interesting conversations.

I also just really appreciate the stellar project results I see a lot here on the forum. There's some really cool things you all are overcoming and producing.

Sorry, are you talking about me? Any many years of building things I should know that the disaster of today, OMG, it's a 1/16" out is something that tomorrow I'll probably not even see. I aim for perfection but sometimes I have to settle for pretty darn good.

One thing that I've accepted/learned over the years is that skilled folks aren't immune from making boo-boos. They've just learned to adapt and fix them so that they don't show.

Selective amnesia is wonderful to have for those oops that slip in from time to time. For me, I still see every little goof every time I look at it. I know exactly where the goof is and can spot it in seconds each time. It drives me crazy to the point that I have to redo it.

Which is why my wife says I rarely finish anything. I keep redoing it until it's perfect. Maybe it will get better as I get older and more relaxed about stuff.

then there is always "close enough for government work" mentality......... had it for 37 years.

Wish, or maybe not , that I had that luxury. I do so many volunteer projects that I have to keep moving forward. Which is why I'll often settle for pretty darn good.

On my quality scale there's a quantum gulf between "pretty darn good" and "close enough". To me "close enough" implies an attitude that sloppy work is OK.

Believe me, you wanted sloppy work from a tax person, otherwise you could end up with a lot less. I often overlooked a lot of omissions, depending upon the taxpayer, we called the process
"selective enforcement".

Another switch option with 180A rating which doesn't require the exposed mounting screws.

Have the same issue Tom . Pat Pat

Reminds me of the tv series "Monk" who has similar traits, almost like OCD behavior.
