No, there’s nothing uninteresting about a straight line. What about the grout lines of your bathroom floor, I can tell you Jason Schuling knows how important straight lines are; when Jason’s tiling a floor the reality that a less-than-straight line can diminish the value of his work for the day is gripping. There’s nothing uninteresting about a straight line. When Nathan Stevenson aligns siding laps around a house how straight that line is determines how seamless his project is two weeks later. There’s nothing uninteresting about a straight line. Can you imagine how sad it would be for Henry Knecht if he were to dis-regard the importance of straight lines while finishing dry-walled surfaces during a remodel? Believe me, there’s nothing uninteresting about a straight line.
