inSaw a full wall of slab doors at a shop in Grand Rapids and now I'm rethinking my face frame habit
Made that switch about four years ago and the only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. Slab doors with a tight reveal look cleaner, and clients actually notice the straight lines way more than they ever noticed the frame. Biggest thing to watch is your box construction, because without a face frame hiding things you need dead square cases or the gaps will show every mistake. Also budget for better hinges since full overlay slab doors need soft close that holds up, cheaper ones start sagging and then the reveals look off. The labor savings are real, but put some of that time back into casework and hardware or it'll bite you.

inHot take: I sent a 4 percent late fee note with a smiley face and got paid in 2 days
What made you add a fee instead of just calling again?

inVent: used to meal prep 5 days at once, now I cook twice and freeze half
Freezing rice is fine but you gotta spread it out on a sheet pan first and let it cool fast, then bag it while it's still a little cold. If you just dump a hot clump in a bag, the steam turns it into mush when you thaw it. I also add a splash of water and cover it when reheating, keeps it from drying into little rocks lol.
