inRant: I cut a bunch of 22.5 degree angles for a weird bay window and nothing lined up
Been there. I ended up using a sliding bevel to copy the actual angle from the wall itself, then set my saw to that. Had to cut each jack stud individually instead of batching them, but it closed the gaps. Do you still have room to shim or re-cut?

inUpdate: Finally picked a color scheme for my old comic book project
How did you finally pick one? I get stuck in that loop all the time. I was trying to decide on a brush style for my webcomic for weeks, just kept redrawing the same test panel. Ended up going with the simpler one because I realized I was overthinking it. Making any choice is better than being stuck, and you can always tweak it later. Classic was probably the right call, it has that timeless feel.

inA friend from my old job just asked me to help move a couch on a Tuesday morning
Task friendship" is perfect. My list is basically just Derek78 and the guy who knows how to reset my breaker box.

inAm I the only one who just replaced their 100th drip irrigation emitter?
Bulk buying was the only way to survive. The real trick was keeping a spare valve box in the garage for emergencies.

inCan we talk about the push for wireless everything?
Ugh, that's brutal. After a similar mess I always run a hard line for the main panel now, @thea143 has the right idea with a backup. Wireless is fine for sensors, but never for the brain of the system.
