Skipping ahead in my coding book bit me back hard

I always jumped to new chapters without doing the exercises. A basic problem took me days to solve, and that changed my view. Do you make yourself finish all the practice stuff?

Update: Rushing the base set on a walkway job added a week to my schedule

I started laying brick before the gravel compacted all the way. Now the whole line is off and I'm redoing the foundation. Who else has lost time trying to beat the weather or a deadline?

I finally acted on that viral straw meme and it was hilarious

A popular meme shows sea turtles celebrating when people use metal straws. I decided to hop on the bandwagon and got one yesterday. While trying to use it, I knocked over my iced coffee and created a sticky mess. It's funny how a simple meme can lead to such a clumsy moment.

My buddy says skipping corner beads is fine for small rooms, but I had a wall crack bad last week lol. Who's right?
