Reworking the housing twice sounds like a total nightmare on top of the coating delays. That's not just a fix, that's a whole extra project. Sean Cooper is right about things taking twice as long, but your story makes his "turn it off and on again" sound like a vacation. I cannot believe you pushed through all of that. How do you even stay patient with the supplier after the second rework?

Man, @piperm38, that hits home. I used to give these long, rambling reasons for every little choice, like my therapist was grading me. Finally got tired of hearing my own voice. My version of "because I wanted to" still sounds like a nervous robot, but it's progress.

Like @thomaspatel said, fire risk is real, so clear nests fast.

Totally used to buy into the sewing hype lol, but seeing how well your glued books hold up changed my mind. They're lasting just fine.

Just One changed my mind too, sneaky good.
