I hear you on the blue tarp situation—mine looked like it’d hold, then a squirrel decided to test its limits. Next thing I know, I’m chasing it across...
That “miracle” sealer stuff cracks me up—my builder swore by it, but after one surprise thunderstorm, I had edges curling like potato chips. I’ve star...
Those clips are my nemesis. Last time I tried to “gently” pry one out, it shot across the garage and disappeared forever. Now I just cross my fingers ...
