Torque wrenches are for bolts, not spokes. Feeler gauge all day.

Whoa, 250 is insane! I got winded just reading about all that wire and drilling. I think my record for any hobby is like 15 painted miniatures before I got bored and moved on to something else.

Three years back I walked into a brand-new build where every inside corner had mesh tape. The homeowner was bragging how fast the crew finished. Six months later I was cutting out half the corners because they were cracked from foundation settling. The paper tape I replaced them with is still solid today. Mesh is great for flat seams but corners need the flexibility paper gives you.
