That’s the part that gets me too. I’ve had crews swear up and down they’re careful, but all it takes is one missed spark and suddenly you’re dealing w...

Nail radar would be a game-changer, right? Until someone invents it, I think we’re all stuck with the “hunt and hope” method. I’ve had my fair share o...
