Man, talk about a lightbulb moment that took me way too long to see. My first few months on the job I was basically just walking around slapping red stickers on anything that looked crooked, feeling like a hero. Then I found out the electrician had already agreed to fix his stuff in writing, but that tiny bathroom tile issue with no one assigned to it was the actual project killer. Cost-to-close is the whole game now, and honestly it makes me feel real dumb for ever thinking major was just about how bad it looked. Still, gotta admit, sorting by dollars feels way more grown-up than my old method of guessing how mad the client would get.

Last month I called AI art a joke, now my whole mood board process starts with it.

Did that epoxy go on bare metal or did you do any etch first?
