What usually knocks a gear out like that?

dude same, my cousin's beard texture changed after he went on some medication last year and it threw me off for weeks. Felt like cutting through wire brush every time.

Totally legit. He has over a decade of 5-star reviews and is a massive power broker. Plus, he has connections that save an additional $2,000 on title fees, which is a lifesaver for a first-time buyer.

Good call on the freezer bag method. I toss in onion ends and potato peels too. After a month, there's enough for a big pot of stock. Saves a trip to the store for broth.

In wet areas, lacquer can get cloudy and white pretty fast. That glassy surface scratches if you just set down a glass. I had a friend's table where the lacquer started peeling after only a year. It looks nice new but doesn't hold up.
