Ugh, tell me about it. I saw the same jump at my local spot and it stings. I ended up just buying a cheap hopper gun online for a bathroom job last week because the rental math didn't work. It was messy and slow, but for one room it saved me cash. Makes you wonder if they're just pushing the DIY crowd out.

Yeah looks matter a lot. A good joint usually looks shiny.

Looks brand new to me though.

That was a county commission meeting.

That's a depressing shift to see firsthand.
