That's such a good way to put it, @the_angela. I killed so many of those tiny pets before I got it right lol. Another thing that messed me up was using old yeast from the back of the pantry. Those little guys were already dead before they even hit the water. Now I always check the date on the packet.

Oh man, that "tip snapped clean off" is so real. I bought one of those for a simple basement job and the whole thing kinked up like a slinky. Had to fight with it for an hour, it was such a waste of time. Learned the hard way that with fish tapes, you really do get what you pay for. I ended up just getting a decent one from the hardware store and it was like night and day. Those cheap ones are only good for like, straight shots with zero turns lol.

Ever find a whole soda inside a keyboard?
