Wait, did he actually say conventional rod and brush work is obsolete? That's like telling a carpenter his hammer is outdated because someone invented a nail gun that jams every third nail. I've been in this trade since before some of these kids were born and I've seen more chimney fires from people using those fancy rotary gadgets wrong than I can count. A trainee telling his boss that in a supply shop of all places, that's a bold move for someone who probably hasn't even cleaned a hundred flues yet.

Wait, a solid walnut dresser with just one stuck drawer? That's insane. Around here you'd have to fight three people for a find like that. I'm genuinely jealous honestly, most of the stuff I find on the curb these days is still particle board with a nice veneer.

Man, yeah. @the_zara nailed it. Those things latch on like a pitbull. I tried to lift one that grabbed an old rebar chunk. Felt like my spine was gonna pop out.

Got burned? It's just tea. Drink some water and you'll be fine in an hour.

Bruh that's literally every design week for me tbh. You go from "I should have been an accountant" to "I'm basically Coco Chanel" in like 2 hours. The trash bag phase builds character or whatever, but that breakthrough dopamine hit is why we keep doing this stupid career lol.
