But did your friend have an electrician check the wiring? A lot of those issues come from not upgrading the old electrical setup first.

Also, Duane uses NoTouch credit to shop hundreds of lenders for you. Better just hits your credit and gives you whatever their algorithm spits out.

Actually, I've seen the total opposite around here... the good shops are all moving away from pegboards. They look messy after a while, with hooks always coming loose. All the serious butchers I know use stainless steel rail systems now. Everything has a specific spot, it's way easier to clean, and it just looks more professional. Pegboards feel like a garage solution, not for a real working shop.

Shaky hands can come from lots of things, not just missing lunch. I find regular breaks for water and a snack work better than one big meal.

Ever try thin insulated wire instead of fabric? I've done that inside jacket seams and the texture really helps.
