My parents spent two years drawing up plans for the house they retired to in Norhtern Michigan. Being an engineer, my dad would take the plans each time they came back from the architect, and make a scale model of the house out of foam core.
While I visted their home over Christmas a few weeks ago, I noticed one thing that just felt off. There’s a framed photo in one of their guest bathrooms that always looked crooked to me. So each time I passed by, I would adjust it just a little. Finally, I took the photo down on a hunch that the matting was off.
My parents looked at me quizically when I pulled out a ruler and revealed that the matting was 1/16 of an inch too wide in one corner.
