Honestly, that gap you see with the empty trade school is everywhere. We've pushed this idea that a four-year degree is the only path to a good life, and it's left a ton of skilled jobs with no one to fill them. Tbh, some of the electricians I know make way more than my friends with office jobs, and they don't have the student loan debt.

What kind of rate did they quote you? That 70% LTV is a huge win though, it gives you so much more breathing room. I had a deal sit for months before the lender finally came back with terms that worked.

Yeah, UVs are the worst part for me too. @kelly.keith is right about using the auto-unwrap for simple shapes, it saves so much headache. What texture image were you trying to use?

Remember my friend who got a ticket because the meter only took an app?

Oh man, that's the worst! My brain does that to me in the grocery checkout line, so doing it in front of a client sounds like a nightmare. Honestly, saying you need a breath and restarting is probably the most professional save you could have pulled off.
