My aunt once gave to a group that turned out to be a front for a timeshare scheme.

Huh, that's a new one. From what I've read, it's more about UV breaking it down over time, not heat making it puff up right away.

Wait, you're totally right @grayperez. I just spent twenty minutes looking for my keys and they were in my jacket pocket the whole time. It's like my brain just refuses to see what's right in front of me. The simple answer is always the last place I check.

Ever feel like finishing the smallest one first just to get a win? That little boost can make the bigger projects seem less scary later on. It's how I finally cleared my own bench last year.

How old was that deck when the board snapped? Makes me wonder if there's a certain age where this stuff starts happening more often.
