See, I gotta push back a little on this one, @faith12. Is it really that serious where we need to act like eyeballing is some kind of sacred trade secret? I mean, I get that thumb trick works for you (more power to you), but I've seen dudes eyeball handle placement and then drill a hole into a drawer face that's completely misaligned with the one below it. That's a bigger headache than just cutting a template ahead of time. And honestly, saying clients don't notice a quarter inch off is kinda wild - maybe they're just being polite or waiting until you're gone to curse your name. But hey, different strokes for different folks, right?

Ngl that is absolutely not overkill, that's just science with extra steps.

You patched a roof drain for $4k? That's a steal. I had to replace the entire sewer line on a similar spot in Canton. Cost me 12 grand and three months of back and forth with the city. But once it's done, you're set. The water line thing is smart. I always check that first now. A lot of these old plazas have galvanized pipes ready to crack.

Nah, I've seen it work fine for way more cycles than that.

That "direct link" doesn't prove anything though.
