I know what you mean... there are times when I have not picked up a trowel for 6 months or more and you gotta slap on some walls for someone that expects high standards.... I know that pressure... the worst thing you can do is worry.

Also worrying means you care and that says a lot about a person :D
 
Ocd is a terrible thing mate it really can drive you mad some days, I know because I have it. It’s never affected my confidence though just get spouts of panic, double checking things are done properly and over thinking sometimes. It can be very very hard to try and control. :(

I spent 3 days adjusting the engine in my kit because it was 3mm out of align.... it's perfect now but do wonder what I could have done with those 3 days instead

I've mentioned before that my old man's favourite saying was "I may be rough, but I'm slow". The look on some builders faces was priceless.

Yes I doubt my self on many jobs. Especially if you know the person and he knows so many contact that you work for It just lack of confidence some days like any job. I think sometimes the jobs you doubt about more than the others turn out to be the best becouse you not given your 100% it 110% and tha might be good thing sometimes
