inI figured out that chilling cookie dough overnight makes a huge difference
Last year I baked a batch without chilling the dough... they always spread out too thin. I honestly thought the overnight rest was just a myth. But I tried it with my usual chocolate chip recipe and it completely changed my mind. The texture is way better and the taste seems richer somehow. Now I won't make cookies without planning for that fridge time.

inIf your subfloor isn't flat, forget about a good carpet install
How could anyone hide a dip in the foundation? That's not a small cosmetic fix. The whole floor plane is off, it throws everything out of level. A pro might smooth over a tiny hairline crack in the drywall, but an actual dip in the slab? That's impossible to hide, it would be obvious the second you put a level on it or tried to lay flooring. What they can do is fix it properly, but hiding it? No way.

inAppreciation post: My crew's homemade chili saved a long repair day
Nah, he probably brought it in that morning and kept it in the break room fridge. Those little fridges are everywhere. Just had to microwave a bowl to heat it back up, that's all.
