Ever think about how a dripping tap adds up? A bunch of small leaks in a water system can absolutely cause a bigger pressure drop over time. Look at policy changes too, where a bunch of tiny rule tweaks together create a huge new burden. Calling anything a drop in the bucket misses how pressure works, because enough drops always fill the bucket. That little change might just be the one that finally makes the whole system tip.

That late frost depth can exceed four feet in some regions, not just the base.

Ugh, tell me about it. I once got brake fluid ALL over my garage floor trying to bleed a stubborn lever. What a mess.

That basement clean-out book really highlights the keep or toss struggle. I always start by asking if each item has a real use or just sentimental hold. Letting go of the "just in case" items often frees up the most space.
