Finally got the city to approve my home office as a proper business address

Wasted $150 on a 'virtual office' service for six months before realizing I could just file a simple zoning form. Anyone else navigate this paperwork maze?

Spent a full day trying to get a drawer slide to line up on a built-in

It was for a kitchen island in a house in Tacoma. The cabinet box was perfect, but the slide mounting plate was off by maybe 1/16 of an inch. I kept shimming, checking, and re-drilling for what felt like forever. The whole thing took me about 7 hours to finally get right. Anyone else ever get stuck on something that should have been a five-minute fix?

Overheard a guy at the hardware store say he uses a power drill with a paint mixer to knead his dough

Has anyone actually tried something like that, or is it a surefire way to end up with a broken mixer and tough bread?

Unpopular opinion: I thought propane forges were best, but charcoal changed my view

Switching to charcoal gave me better heat control and a more authentic feel.
