Tbh, I read this book about weird stuff like that. Stuff where your keys vanish then show up in the fridge. That door being unlocked for you feels like one of those times. Maybe the universe does tiny favors we don't even notice. Makes you wonder what else we brush off as nothing.

oh man, did you find a way to clean it up? i had that happen once and a mix of vinegar and hot water was the only thing that cut through the gunk.

Yeah, 304 stainless is the way to go for outside. I made some brackets last summer and went with 11 gauge, which has been plenty thick. Just make sure you deburr the edges real good so it doesn't catch on anything.

Chatting with neighbors definitely had its charm, but apps aren't just about speed. They can introduce you to people in your area you might never have met otherwise. It's more about how you use the tool than the tool itself.

Sees this in old plumbing and wiring too.
