Heard about those flexible glow rods being a game changer for tight spots, are they worth the hype?

Always thought that was a luxury service, but hearing this makes total sense. That little bit of regular, friendly contact is huge. Maybe check if the local library has a senior book club or game day, those are usually free.

Wait, they're just reselling harbor freight?

The zero gap thing is actually for looks, it doesn't lock the panels. Vinyl needs room to move or it will buckle in summer heat. I mean, the posts are set deep for structure, but the panels should have a small gap at the rail ends. Maybe it's just me but I've seen a few push together in winter and then bulge out when it gets hot.

Yeah, that scale is a lifesaver. My old method wasted so much time.
