Had to choose between Procore and PlanGrid for managing our field reports. Went with Procore because the sales guy was persistent. Now our guys hate the app interface, takes too many taps to log a simple punch item. Anyone else stuck with a platform that your crew can't stand?
I was visiting a family-run place near Columbus last month and watched one of the old timers work a chuck shoulder. He told me it's all about the hanging time before you break it down, like 10-14 days instead of the typical 5. I tried it on a few shoulders back at my shop and the fat distribution was way more even. Has anyone else played around with extended aging on tougher cuts like that?
I used my 8 inch banneton for a 72 hour cold ferment sourdough last week and the dough spilled over the sides by hour 48, making a mess on my fridge shelf. How do you all figure out the right basket size for a specific dough weight without trial and error wrecking your batch?
The bolt was torqued fine but the forging had a hairline split right at the bend. Anyone else run into hidden stress fractures on older airframes that looked fine until the dye check?
I walked into my local shop in Nashville just to grab the new issue of Batman, and the owner handed me a free long box full of 90s X-Men books someone had donated. Scored a complete run of Age of Apocalypse, which I've been trying to track down for about 6 months. Has anyone else ever gotten a random find like that from a shop?
I signed up for this online course last spring about generating passive income through affiliate marketing. Spent $200 on it. The first few modules seemed fine, but around week 3 they started pushing this system where you had to recruit other people to sell the same course to make real money. Basically a pyramid scheme dressed up with fancy spreadsheets. What finally tipped me off was when the instructor said "your downline is your real asset" in a Q&A session. Has anyone else run into courses that start out legit and then turn into recruitment pitches?
I kept getting a 1/16" gap on the right side no matter how much I adjusted the slides, turned out the drawer box was twisted a hair. Clamped it flat overnight and shimmed the slide mount, now it closes like butter. Anyone else fight with a box that just won't sit square?
Switched from tap water to filtered water on day 10 and it doubled within 4 days. Anyone else notice a big difference from water quality?
I was sure surge protectors for fridges were a waste of cash until I hit a customer's house last Tuesday in Austin where a storm took out three units on the same block. Replacing all three compressors ran the guy over $2,100. Has anyone else seen a pattern with this?
Found this out reading a manufacturer spec sheet last night. Checked 3 houses I serviced this week. All had units installed back in 2015. The expiration dates are molded right into the plastic on the back side.
