inMy jade plant is getting leggy even in bright light
@oliviaellis, the idea that overwatering makes a jade stretch out is honestly shocking... I always thought they got leggy from low light alone. My own jade just sits there compact if I forget to water it for weeks. Maybe the soil mix plays a bigger role than people say...

inAppreciation post: A disconnected ground wire in a basement job was a close call
Read an article last year that said failed grounds are way more common in houses built before the 80s. Those old clamps and wires just wear out or rust through. Makes sense to check them on any job where you're already working on the panel. It only takes a minute with a meter but can save a ton of headache later. Honestly, treating it as a standard step on older homes just seems like smart practice now. You never know what's been messed with over the decades.

inCan we talk about how torque wrench checks feel different now?
Totally agree, that lost feeling is dangerous! It's not just wrenches, we're letting tech erode basic craftsmanship across the board.
