I always used a tape, because my tape and everyone elses tape is always the same.

But then we also may have used a different method to box a house. Boss went throught and marked, I followed behind and boxed, he went back and started drilling and I came behind and started roping.

Even if I was by myself, it was mark-box-drill-rope.

And how purty does it look after the sheetrockers get done?

You're right, it usually doesn't matter. But the customer that notices and appreciates neat work is likely to be the one I'm after.

Also I feel like it carries over to the things that do matter.

But its not for everyone, I'm sure I've lost certain customers who felt that they were paying more for the work than necessary.
