Honestly that's a huge thing with so much stuff, we over-engineer the wrong part. We put all our effort into the fancy coop door when the real weak spot is the run fence. It's like putting a vault door on a shed with cardboard walls. Makes you step back and look at your whole setup again.

Yeah, exactly... @kevinc84 gets it. It's just part of the deal, you know? You're gonna lose some time here and there.

Wait you had a compost bin inside your actual kitchen? That's a brave move right there. The liquid mess sounds like a total nightmare to clean up. Maybe try a container with a solid bottom and a lid next time.

Just ask them to point to the actual artifact next time.

That Cat 3406 is a perfect example. @phoenix_wells, I'm curious about the oil choice. On a really seized fuel line fitting, would you still reach for standard penetrating oil first, or do you go straight for something like a 50/50 mix of acetone and transmission fluid? I've seen guys swear by the homemade mix, but I wonder if the heat changes which one works best.
