Congrats on the sale, that's huge. Wyatt_green's story about his friend really shows how much this stuff means to people. It's not just a craft, it's a real win. Seeing that reaction makes the whole creative grind feel worth it. That first sale is a special kind of happy.

Yeah, I tried that once to save time. Ended up with visible ridges and a weird texture under the paint that caught the light just wrong. It only takes one little lump in a lower coat to mess up the whole smooth finish.

Actually kind of glad to see new stuff pop up. That old video store was probably sitting empty for years. A juice bar means someone's trying to start a business, and maybe it's a better spot for people to hang out now. It's just change, not always bad.
