inHey watch out for rebar chairs that look flimsy - just had a slab drop on me
Oh man, that reminds me of the time I tried to set up one of those chairs on a gravel driveway for a barbecue. I thought I was being careful, but I guess I didn't notice a little rock sticking up under the leg. I sat down and heard this loud crack and the whole thing just buckled sideways. I didn't even move that much, just sat down normally. My buddy said I probably leaned wrong, but I've sat in chairs my whole life, you know?

Didn't John from Allstate talk about that on his YouTube channel?

inI was dead wrong about adding color hardener to driveway mixes
Honestly I get where you were coming from, I thought the same thing for ages too lol. It's so easy to assume something like that is just a gimmick or gonna look awful in a year. But sounds like that Butterfield stuff and your curing method really proved you wrong, which is pretty cool.

inVent: A customer asked me to match a 20 year old laminate countertop last Tuesday
Flipped through three binders of discontinued patterns last month for a woman who wanted a 1990s country blue tile for her backsplash. She had this little piece of tile in a ziploc bag like it was a family heirloom or something. I felt terrible but I had to tell her they stopped making that style around the time NSYNC broke up. She got all teary and I just stood there holding her sad baggie of tile like an idiot. Why do people think we keep warehouses full of stuff from 25 years ago?

Bet @lily511 I still have a 2010 video on tying shoelaces saved like it's a secret treasure.
