Jumping off what jamieburns said, that crash probably set the whole week's schedule off. Those construction crews probably took an extra day to finish up since they had to cleanup debris first.

Oh man, I gotta disagree hard here. That low heat trick might work for one joint but you're way more likely to cold solder the whole area and end up with brittle joints that crack later. I've seen too many guys try the "gentle heat gun" method and end up with boards that look fine but fail after a few months because the solder never really flowed right into the ground plane. Kapton tape's great and all but if you're not getting the board hot enough to actually melt the solder properly into that thick copper, you're just wasting your time and risking a return job down the line.

Oh yeah, that makes a HUGE difference. When someone already knows your street it takes away that weird tension of trying to explain where you live while they're Googling it. It just feels safer and more natural somehow.
