inShowerthought: Used to start every community project by just jumping in, now I spend 20 minutes mapping out who knows what and it saves us days of backtracking
Wait 20 minutes of mapping? That seems low. Our group spent like 3 hours on a Trello board for one project and still ended up redoing half the work anyway.

inSwapped from lime mortar to type N on a big job in New Haven last month
It reminds me of how people swap out old tools for new ones expecting trouble but end up surprised when the modern option just works better for the situation. Sometimes the rules we learned were right for their time but not for every job that comes along.

inThat morning I took down a 90 foot dead oak in a tight backyard in Portland
You been burned before or what? Every dead oak is different, that's just part of the job. Sometimes you get a clean one where the rot is obvious from the bark and you can plan around it. Other times you find the soft spot during a cut and adjust on the fly. Coffee run doesn't make it a perfect job but experience helps you see the trouble before it happens.
