Oh man, that's the worst. I feel your pain. Tracing a bad loop in that heat sounds like a special kind of torture. Why do people even bother writing notes if they're going to be that lazy? I'm with Angela, the only fix is to redo it all yourself. It hurts now, but you're saving future you from a total meltdown.

My old cordless drill took me 45 minutes to put up 20 drywall sheets. Rented a screw gun for a bathroom remodel last year and did the same work in maybe 15. @lane.joel, you're totally right about that auto-feed, it's a game changer for your wrist on a big job.

Yeah, that's the worst feeling when you've been deep in the weeds for an hour and it's something stupid simple. I've learned to just start every single power issue at the wall outlet now, then the cable, then the brick, then the jack. Saves so much time even if it feels dumb. That voice in your head telling you to check the basics is almost always right.
