Something people forget is the lead paint and dust from ripping out old windows. That stuff gets everywhere if the crew isn't careful. My neighbor's kid had high lead levels after their window job, and the cleanup cost more than the windows. Sometimes the fix is safer.

Man, that's so relatable. I've definitely stuck with a certain marver just because it feels right in my hand. It's hard to break those habits even when you know there might be a better way.

That graphite vs steel thing is a classic studio debate (heard it a million times). Honestly, you just get used to one tool and stick with it.
