Ask if any of those people who rush leveling ever actually go back and fix it once they realize things are shifting? I've seen so many decks and sheds around here that start tilting after one decent rain because someone skipped the gravel base or didn't bother checking for level more than once. Must be nice to have enough time to redo everything later when the whole thing starts wobbling like a shopping cart with a bad wheel. Why would you even bother putting in nice hardware if you're just going to prop it up on a slope anyway?

I read on a bookbinding forum that dipping for just 5-10 minutes gives a lighter antique look, 3 hours is way too long for tea. Try gently separating the sticky pages with a palette knife and pressing the book under a stack of heavy books for a few days.

Oh wow, thats actually kind of wild to think about. Like yeah I get the whole "listen to your bake" thing if youre some kind of baking savant who can tell a cakes done by the way it smells or the sound it makes when you tap it. But for us mere mortals, its like saying dont use a ruler cause you can just feel if a table leg is straight. That bakers probably never had a batch of macarons go sideways because their oven decided to act like a snow day and just not heat up properly. I bet half the people who say that kind of stuff are just flexing on beginners who are trying to learn.

Do you really think it's worth risking a missed renewal clause just to save a few hours? I had a client miss a automatic renewal buried in a sub-clause once and it cost them thousands.

Flip it around and look at the waste disposal side instead, Victor. @victor_carr54 most guys miss how much money walks out the door in skipped dump fees from leftover paint and materials. If you track what they're not hauling off, you can bid those cleanup jobs separate and pocket another 15-20% easy lol.
