My old rain jacket was basically a trash bag with sleeves.

Yeah, that stat lines up with what I've seen on site. We started building a basic "save to the right place" training into our onboarding for new office clients. Just a 15 minute walkthrough that shows where the server drive is versus local folders. It cut down on "lost file" tickets by a lot in my experience.

Man, that sound you hear when a pan splits is just the worst. I had a plastic one warp on me last summer, left it in the sun too long between coats. Ended up having to use a piece of scrap drywall as a flat spot to finish mixing. What did you end up doing with the broken pieces?

Totally get that! I once spent a whole weekend trying to hang a shelf that ended up looking drunk. When my grandpa, who built his own house, finally said "not bad kid," I felt like I'd won a trophy. That tiny bit of praise from him meant more than a hundred perfect shelves done alone.

The struggle is real. My bird feeder has the same problem, and it's honestly impressive how determined squirrels can be. They turn into furry little contortionists for a handful of seeds. I've watched them hang upside down and just rake the food out with their claws. You might need to look into a different style of cage or add a baffle.
