But . . . but . . . I measured twice and cut once, just like they say.

Pero . . . pero . . . he medido dos veces y corte una vez, como se dicen.

Ha de ser la matemática moderna en la carpintería...: ) - dennywells, Dec 28, 2013
You can say: "he medido - he cortado" or "medí - corté". I suggest to use the same past tense for both verbs. For example: "... he medido 2 veces y he cortado 1 vez" + "tal como ellos dicen." or "tal como se dice" Un saludo :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 29, 2013
