inWhy does everyone stop sanding at 120 on face frames
The whole grain pop thing is what got me too. I used to be one of those guys stopping at 120 because it saved time and I figured the primer would cover it. Then I had a job where the paint crazed on the cabinets and I had to sand everything down and start over. Now I always hit 150 at minimum, and it's not even about the extra time, it's about not having to go back and fix something that could have been avoided. That Tacoma kitchen sounds like a nightmare, I'd rather spend the 10 minutes than deal with a callback.

inMy client invoice template was 6 years old and I never noticed until a vendor pointed it out
My buddy ran a landscaping business for years with a logo he drew in MS Paint on his laptop in 2009. The file name was literally "logo final FINAL v3." He only found out it looked bad when a customer asked if his company was called "Green Thumbz" because the z was cut off on his truck wrap. He re-did it with a proper designer and said his quote acceptance rate went up almost overnight. Sometimes you just get used to your own mess, you know?

inBox fans plus duct tape changed my castle game last night
and honestly that chimney trick sounds way better than what I did. I rigged a box fan to sit on a milk crate and pointed it straight up the stairwell of my three level cardboard castle. Worked okay but the top room still got muggy. The tape and cardboard duct idea is genius though. I was using a bedsheet to funnel air and it just collapsed every twenty minutes. Gonna steal your window vent setup for my next build for sure.
