Yep, they are totally legit. I got a 10x15 vinyl garage from them. Took about a weekend to put together with some friends but the delivery was smooth and the driver dropped the pallet right where I needed it.

Do the math before you wrap your money in a yearly fee.

Ugh, that's the worst. My weird trick is using a metal bowl and putting it in the freezer for ten minutes before I even start. Cold tools matter as much as cold butter. I also freeze my flour sometimes if it's a really hot day. Warm hands ruin everything, so I run my wrists under cold water to chill my blood. Sounds nuts but it works.

So what happens when the dirt tells you something that completely wrecks the schedule and budget? Do you just accept the new truth and start over, or is there pressure to ignore it and push ahead anyway?

Oh man, I totally get that feeling! But honestly, I think some of those older, slower-paced shows are perfect for putting on in the background while you're doing chores.
