Feel the same way, it sounds tiny until you live with it. Had a similar dip by my back door last year and it made the latch scrape every time we opened it. Small shifts really do mess with the whole house feel.

Go for twists and forward folds. Tbh, when you said your back is tight from the ground, I get it. Start with cat-cow to loosen up your spine. Then, do some easy twists like lying on your back and letting your knees drop to one side. Hold pigeon pose for a bit to help your hips. End with legs up the wall so your back can flat out rest.

Not sure why it's a 'fading way of connecting'. Feels like making a big deal out of nothing.

I used to roll my eyes at extra testing steps too (seemed like such a hassle). But seeing a whole project get scrapped over something as simple as damp jute totally changed my tune.

How many readers actually notice or care about those tiny details?
