Had a guy tell me once that a joint that looks right usually is right, and your eye catches problems faster than a tape does. He said to pick one block near the end of the run and check that one against the last, since the gap there tells you if you been drifting. Still not sure I buy it, but I quit measuring every block after that and my walls stayed straight.

I did the same thing about a year ago on my work laptop and nothing has blown up yet. I just set a reminder on my calendar to run updates every couple months when I have a slow afternoon. The only thing that got weird was one program that needed a newer version of something, but that was an easy fix once I updated it.

Sucks when you plan your whole day around materials and they show up garbage. That re-cutting alone would’ve made me want to toss the whole load back on their truck. I’ve had suppliers send warped trim before and act like it was no big deal, so I feel your pain on that. Hope you at least got some kind of credit or replacement out of them, because that time is gone either way. Hang in there, man, some days just test you for no good reason.
