WHEN PROGRESS HITS A WALL: SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT FAILED EXPERIMENTS
That’s the kind of thing that drives up costs fast. I get learning from surprises, but honestly, I’d rather not have them at all—unexpected fixes can blow a budget in no time. I always push for a thorough inspection before starting, even if it means spending a bit more upfront. It’s not foolproof, but it’s saved me from some nasty surprises... most of the time.
WHEN PROGRESS HITS A WALL: SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT FAILED EXPERIMENTS
I get where you’re coming from about wanting to catch everything upfront, but honestly, I’ve seen those “thorough inspections” turn into a money pit of their own. Sometimes it feels like you’re just paying for someone to tell you what *might* go wrong, and then half the time, something else pops up anyway. I’m not saying skip the inspection—definitely not—but there’s a point where you’re just throwing good money after bad trying to predict every possible hiccup.
In my experience, a little risk is just part of the deal. I’d rather set aside a contingency fund than overpay for endless pre-checks that don’t guarantee anything. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather deal with a surprise or two than nickel-and-dime myself into the red before the real work even starts.
