Filler just means bad episodes" is actually how I still see it, since skipping canon material feels like cheating.

And what kind of cap was it? I had a similar problem with a 35v electrolytic where the cheap tester could not handle anything over 25v, so it just gave garbage readings. That kind of inconsistency is the worst because you spend hours chasing ghosts in your circuit.

Wait, you actually checked for water damage before grouting? I always just assumed if the tile wasn't falling off the wall I was good to go. Stripped out the grout in my bathroom last spring and found the whole bottom row of tiles just floating on rotted drywall underneath. Ended up having to rip out the bottom half of the wall, replace the cement board, and re-tile the whole thing because none of it would hold anymore. That $30 grout removal tool turned into about six hundred bucks and three trips to the hardware store. Now I check every joint with a screwdriver before I even touch the grout saw.

Did you at least try to get your money back?

Wait, you're telling me @matthewking's maple actually twisted overnight after a month of sitting there?
