inPro tip: I was always checking the main trailhead parking lot for the Enchantments in Washington, but that's a mistake.
That "separate, smaller Eightmile Road lot" tip is a lifesaver, I made the same mistake my first time.

inBack in 2012, you could get a decent hostel bed in Prague for under 15 euros a night, but now the same spot is pushing 40.
Reminds me of paying more for coffee in Prague than back home.

inI switched from a standard 18 gauge nailer to a 16 gauge for a big oak job in Portland and the difference was huge.
Felix98 saying he doesn't even pull out the 18 gauge for wide planks anymore really hit home. I used to think an 18 gauge was fine for everything to keep the holes small. But after a few callbacks for squeaky floors, I had to admit the thinner nails just don't have the grip. That extra thickness in a 16 gauge makes all the difference for holding power on hardwoods. It changed my whole approach.
