That exact thing happened to me last year, the tube ran out with one corner left. It feels like every simple home fix follows the same script. You plan for a quick two hour job, but it quietly expands to fill your whole Saturday. It's never just the caulk, it's the scraping, the cleaning, the unexpected mold, the second trip to the store. Modern life sells us this idea of efficiency, but actual hands-on work always fights back.

Yeah that "check right before you leave" tip from @xena_rodriguez39 is so key. I got burned like Nate once, showed up to a locked gate for seasonal closure. Total waste of a morning. Now my rule is to call the ranger station directly the afternoon before. The recorded info line isn't always updated, but a real person usually knows what's going on. Saves so much headache and gas.

On my last table build, I had a gap that was too big for trim to fix cleanly. I see people saying to frame every mistake, but sometimes it just looks like you covered up a goof. If the trim doesn't match or the design gets busy, it can make things worse. Maybe it's not always worth the extra work, you know?

Your sister remembering Severance after binging it shows that plot soup can actually stick. I get what @lewis.charlie says about forgetting details, but spreading out episodes can break the magic for story heavy shows. That constant tension is what makes them good, and stopping kills the feel. Binging keeps you in that world so every clue and moment connects fresh in your mind. Letting episodes breathe might work for slow shows, but for others, the best impact comes from diving in deep.
