A homeowner in Tempe told me my cable runs looked like a spiderweb

He pointed at a bundle of coax and Cat6 I'd just run through his attic and said, 'You know, that's going to be a nightmare for the next guy.' I used to just focus on getting signal and getting out. Now, I spend an extra 15 minutes per job with Velcro ties and a label maker. My service callbacks dropped by half. How do you guys keep things tidy in a tight crawl space?

Just had my steam machine hose blow out mid-facial last Thursday

I was doing a deep pore cleanse on a regular client when the main hose on my tabletop steamer split right at the connector. It sprayed hot water and steam all over my station, and I had to quickly shut it off and apologize. The machine is only about 8 months old, so I was pretty surprised. I ended up finishing the treatment with just warm towels, which worked okay but wasn't the same. I'm torn between ordering a whole new, more expensive unit or just trying to find a replacement hose part. Has anyone else had a steamer fail like this, and what brand did you switch to?

Vent: My old rotary drill head snapped clean off inside a brick flue

It happened yesterday on a job in Portland, and I had to finish the cleanout with hand rods. Do you think it's worth investing in a whole new drill system or just buying a stronger replacement head?

My tomato plant gave me 14 fruits from one container

I only expected maybe five or six, but this cherry variety just kept going. I used a 5-gallon fabric pot with a mix of potting soil and compost. Anyone else get a crazy yield from a single plant?

I always thought my great aunt's locket was just a cheap trinket until I took it to a jeweler in Savannah.

My grandma's pie crust recipe totally failed on me last Sunday

I was making her famous apple pie for a family dinner in Springfield, and the dough just turned into a sticky mess that wouldn't roll out. I think the butter was too warm, but she always just said 'use your hands until it feels right'. Has anyone else had a family recipe that just doesn't work sometimes, and how do you fix it?

My brisket stall lasted 8 hours and I almost lost my mind

Honestly, I was smoking a 14 pound packer in my backyard in Austin and it hit the stall at 165 degrees. Tbh, I thought it would be maybe 4 hours max, but it just sat there forever. Ngl, I was ready to wrap it in foil but I stuck with butcher paper like Aaron Franklin talks about. Has anyone else had a stall go that long on a brisket?

PSA: My custard got creamier with eggs from my hens

I used store eggs for custard and it was just fine. With eggs from my chickens, the texture is smoother and the taste is richer. What dishes do you make that shine with fresh eggs?
