A client told me my blowouts were too hot and it made me rethink my whole approach

I had a regular come in last month who said her hair felt fried after her usual style. She pointed out my dryer was on high heat the whole time, even for the last pass. I used to think that was just how you got volume that lasted. I switched to medium heat for the roots and cool air to set the ends. It adds maybe 3 minutes to my time, but her hair feels way better now. I'm curious, has anyone else had a client call them out on a heat habit they didn't even notice?

I just read in a trade magazine that the average carpet installer lifts over 2,000 pounds of material in a single day.

Gel inserts are a total game changer... night and day difference.

Just noticed a big difference in how I run wire for glass break sensors

Wish I had that attic trick years ago. I've been crawling through so many drop ceilings like an idiot. My old boss would have fired me for wasting that much extra wire. The clean look is a huge selling point now, clients really notice it. Makes me wonder what other simple changes I've been missing.

My old mortar mixer finally gave out on a foundation job yesterday.

Coffee? They charged me for the air in the tires.

My shed is tilting after skipping base leveling, what now

Exactly, and once the frame gets twisted, you're looking at a full rebuild instead of just fixing the base.

I finally fixed my bike chain from slipping on hills

Nice! I just eyeball the chain tension and hope for the best.
