That week I had to redraw a whole set of MEP plans because of a decimal point

It was last month on a big apartment job in Tacoma. I was rushing and put a pipe size as 1.5 inches instead of 15.0 in the specs. The shop drawings got made and everything. My boss caught it just before they went to the fabricator, but we still lost two days fixing it and re-coordinating with the other trades. Has anyone else had a tiny mistake blow up like that? How do you double-check your own work when you're tired?

Been there, a checklist saved me from that exact thing.

What kind of stuff did you put on your checklist, @maxm63?
