Heard a similar story from a buddy who does tile work. A guy called him on a Thursday needing a bathroom floor done before a party that weekend. My friend gave a quick price just based on the square footage the guy said. Showed up and the old tile was a nightmare to remove, plus the subfloor was rotten. He had to eat the extra cost and time because he already gave his number. Makes you wonder if some people leave out details on purpose, you know?

I used to just snap my quick release shut too. After a similar scare on the local fire road, I learned you need to leave a solid imprint from the lever on your palm when you close it. That's tight enough.

Lmao, that's some serious aerial assault. At least you had the hard hat on. I'd take an apple core over some of the other stuff they could drop. Last month a guy I know got dive-bombed by a pine cone the size of a soda can. Squirrels are basically running their own little air force up there.

Colored hardener before stamping worked for us to maintain texture and save time.
