That's what is needed to make anything that will last. A word from a fool; strong supports only last for so long. Proper inspection and maintenance are needed constantly to ensure that they are doing their job.
Of course, it helps to know what you are looking for. That takes some time and effort to learn to recognize. Sometimes the time isn't there. My only advice is to learn fast. If I had another piece of advice it is to value those with more knowledge or experience than you. They might be your greatest friend in the time of need.
