My old foreman in Phoenix swore by cutting pad first, said it kept the carpet from buckling. But we wasted so much material. Honestly, @the_evan, that extra hour adds up across a whole crew's schedule over a year.

Mark your coolant tank? That's actually genius.

Remember my friend who got that beach wave perm? She said it looked great wet, but once it dried it just went flat and weird. The stylist told her some hair just can't hold that kind of curl pattern. Maybe that's the whole problem right there.
