Actually, I'd take a slow ramp-up over a ruined batch any day. That extra propane cost is just part of the job.

Honestly, that line about it making your arm hurt is the real truth. Tbh the mental count of all that cutting and nailing is worse than the actual labor sometimes. Ngl I start dreading the job just doing the math.

What is wrong with people who start their day by picking fights?

Oh, I used to think that way too. But now I see it's more about being scared to fail.

Honestly though, losing a whole day to something you enjoy isn't wasted time. Maybe it's just me but I feel like we call too much stuff a waste now. If you're into it and having fun, that's a good use of a Sunday. The whole point of a day off is to do what you want, even if it looks lazy to someone else.
