I tried putting a little cornstarch on my frozen fries before air frying and it was a total game changer

Serious question, I just read that carpet fibers can hold up to 8 times their weight in dust and allergens.

Ngl, I found that stat in an old trade magazine from 2015. Honestly, it makes me think twice about how I explain the benefits of a good vacuum to customers. Do you guys bring this kind of thing up during sales or installs?

Can we talk about that time you cut a plank and realized you measured wrong?

I was installing a herringbone pattern in a big living room in Springfield last Tuesday. I had my Dewalt miter saw set up, cut a whole stack of planks at a 45, and started laying them out. About three rows in, I saw the pattern was drifting off the center line by almost half an inch. My heart sank. I had been so focused on the angle cuts that I forgot to check the starting wall for square, which was off by a full degree. I had to stop everything, pull up the rows I'd just glued down, and re-square the entire room using a chalk line from the longest wall. It set me back nearly two hours. Has anyone else had a herringbone job go sideways because of a wall that wasn't straight?

Warning: trying to save time on a quarter panel blend on a 2018 Civic

I rushed the sealer coat last week and the orange peel came back after two days, but doing it right the first time took half the total job hours. Anyone ever have a blend fail because the sealer wasn't fully cured?

Update: My paint can count hit 50 this weekend

I was cleaning out the garage and realized I've saved every single empty can from projects over the last 8 years. It's a full shelf of metal, mostly from fixing up this old house. Has anyone else kept track of something like this and been shocked by the number?
