Sounds like your bin is pickling itself.

Actually that's pretty smart for stopping casual snooping. Most people would just see a weird file and leave it alone. Better than nothing at all.

Geologists are the ultimate buzzkills for amateur rock hype. You spend years building a whole story around your special petrified wood, and they just drop the "weird river stone" truth bomb with zero ceremony. The human brain is basically a conspiracy theory machine for random objects.

Yeah @evan400, that battle is no joke. I mean, after dealing with torn carpet from thin pad and crazy stretch fights from thick pad, I always pick a middle density now. It might not last forever like the super dense stuff, but it saves so much trouble during install. On a recent job, we went with a 7 or 8 pound pad and it was just right. The carpet laid flat without forcing it, and the customer still got good cushion. So yeah, finding that balance is key for me.

Ugh, I could never deal with that much work. It just seems like a massive pain.
