A client in Austin made me rethink how I mark for post holes

Oh man, that's a solid tip. I started using a cheap laser level for the same reason, just to shoot a line. Saves so much time over the old string and guess method.

My big coop cleaning mistake for two whole years

Totally get this, I did the same thing for ages. I was obsessed with making everything smell like a hospital, thought that meant it was clean. My turning point was reading about the chicken's own microbiome, like how they need some of their own good bugs to stay healthy. I switched to just scraping the worst of the poop off the roosts every morning with a putty knife, and I do a full coop cleanout maybe three times a year now. Honestly, my flock has never been healthier since I stopped trying to sterilize their whole world.

Do they not understand how much that messes with the final torque value?

TIL Edmonton has a specific rule about how many trees you can plant on your boulevard

Ever wonder why they have those rules about planting near sidewalks? My neighbor planted a maple way too close to the curb and its roots lifted a whole section of concrete. The city made them remove it and pay for the repair, so they definitely notice when it starts to mess things up. It's a pain for everyone when that happens.

Got locked out of my apartment in Chiang Mai with a client call in 10 minutes

Yeah @aaronowens that's smart, we're all just slowly gluing our whole lives to our phones. Next it'll be my wallet and my coffee mug.
