Honest question though, did you check if it had any kind of calendar sync or team approval feature? A lot of those free ones don't bother with that stuff and just assume you're booking one guy at a time lol.

Bought myself a "professional" developing tank a few years back that claimed to be spill proof. First time I used it I dumped 600ml of developer all over my kitchen counter and ruined a roll of Tri-X I was really excited about. Now I just use a repurposed pickle jar with a hole drilled in the lid and some rubber bands. Funny how we convince ourselves we need the fancy stuff when the junk drawer usually has the answer. My drying rack is literally two shoelaces tied between cabinet handles.

Bought a $15 guide on hallmarks and saved myself from a $500 fake once?

Man @danielkim is right, crane work is definitely not all the same. Had a helper once that did a 40 ton rooftop in under 15 minutes - the old timer who taught me nearly fell off his ladder laughing.

No way, man. Getting out there early and walking the trails is half the fun for me, I feel like you miss the energy of the woods when you just sit still.
