RE: When You Think You Know Better Than Your Lawyer
WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW BETTER THAN YOUR LAWYER I get where you’re coming from, but isn’t there a balance? I mean, yeah, safety and structure should always come first - no one wants to pick out the perfect paint shade...
RE: Movie night setup: projector, big TV, or something else?
MOVIE NIGHT SETUP: PROJECTOR, BIG TV, OR SOMETHING ELSE? That’s a good point about projectors being fussy with light and wall texture. I’ve gone down the “let’s make this feel like a mini theater” rabbit hole a few time...

RE: Just put in a new kitchen sink and wondering if anyone else struggled this much
Isn’t that always the way? I fell for the “integrated soap dispenser” hype, and now it’s just one more thing to unclog. Do you think any of these extras actually save time, or just look cool in photos?
RE: Dealing with itchy pink nightmare in my attic
I get the appeal of cotton jumpsuits, but aren't you worried about fibers from the insulation sticking to the fabric even after washing? I tried something similar once - thought I'd be clever and wore an old cotton cover...
