I used Millcreek Painters last summer for my whole exterior. They were great - showed up on time every day, did really clean work, and the price was fair. They're based right in Edmonton so they know the weather and what products hold up here.

Hold up, you saw this in Austin? I was just there and every shop I walked past was doing fades first, same as always. That barber must be crazy confident to go against the grain like that. I can't imagine trying to match the sides after the top is already set, that seems like a recipe for a lopsided mess.

I read a review for a farming game where the writer spent three real hours just organizing their virtual shed. They said it was weirdly calming to line up all the tools by color. The whole game is about that slow, simple work. For some people, those thirty pages of turnip growth ARE the fun part. It's about the quiet details, not just getting to the end.
