Appreciate the wood brace trick. Been there with sandy soil myself, and sometimes you just need a simple fix to buy time. Good to hear it's working for you.

Yikes, so the gum just oozed into the wires and made everything worse.

Yeah, totally. We sketch on big windows with markers during our sprint planning. Saw a teammate map out a user flow with sticky notes that became our core feature. That messy visual stuff gets people talking straight away, no tech barriers.
