It's a common scene at Soo Mill Buildall: eager customers brimming with questions about their upcoming projects.

A big shoutout to Mike for delving deep into the indispensable tool of construction and DIY enthusiasts alike: the tape measure.
Deciphering Those Tiny Numbers
Ever caught yourself pondering the significance of those minuscule numbers at the back of your tape measure? Mike has got you covered. These numbers denote fractions of an inch, facilitating razor-sharp measurements across diverse tasks. Grasping these fractional notations is a game-changer, be it for deck construction, art installation, or a home revamp.
Ensuring a Straight and True Tape Measure
Keeping your tape measure in tip-top shape is crucial. Mike shed light on best practices to avert its bending or misshaping over time. The essence is in the handling: resist the urge to yank it out rashly or let it recoil abruptly into its casing. Such actions can induce kinks and throw off measurements. Instead, Mike underscores the gentle ebb and flow of the tape, preserving its original form.
About Those Numbers...
For those who appreciate a bit more guidance, we stock tape measures that mark out the increments – 1/2, 1/4, 1/8. These are perfect for ensuring utmost accuracy, especially for those still getting acquainted with measurements.
