Running did that for me. Thought it was the worst until I got past the first month. Totally worth it now.

That sounds amazing, what exactly made that valley feel so peaceful to you? Was it the quiet, the view, or something else?

Sometimes a quick fix just covers up a deeper problem. Squeezing the bulb worked this time, but air in the lines often points to worn pump seals. Those seals degrade over time, allowing air to seep in during normal operation. A simple bleed doesn't address why the air got there in the first place. Pumps fail slowly, and your situation fits early stage wear. Getting the pump tested could avoid another breakdown later.

Tell them they saved like two grand per door and watch their eyes light up. Then casually mention the particle board core when they ask why it sounds hollow when they knock on it. They'll either laugh or quietly die inside, no in between.
