TIL a simple way to fish cable through insulated walls without tearing them up.

You know what's wild? I used Dawn to clean up after my dog got skunked last fall. The old tomato juice thing did nothing, but a bath with blue Dawn and baking soda actually worked. It took like three washes and my bathroom smelled like a diner kitchen, but it cut the smell way down. Makes sense if it breaks down oil based stuff that well.

I finally quit using water on bearings and saw a big difference

Totally feel that, it's like a universal law of bad outcomes. @mia_scott77 isn't wrong about being a cautionary tale, we've all been there. My old car had a weird noise for months that I kept calling "character" until the whole belt system went. Funny how our brains can justify anything to avoid a 10 minute fix.

Shoutout to the client who offered me a flat $500 for a full website redesign

Charlotte networking events are wild for that. A flat fee on unlimited revisions is a trap, not a deal. I'd rather do gig work than sign up for that nightmare.

I found a trick for juicy air fryer chicken breasts

Describe the tip further. What made it REALLY work for you? I'm curious about the details.

Update: All the new HOA rules here are adding days to our jobs

Good grief, my friend had to get HOA approval for a simple storage shed, one of those pre-built ones. They made her submit the color swatch, approved it, and then when it was delivered they said it was the wrong shade of gray and made her repaint the whole thing.
