inThe initial consult I almost skipped saved my whole case
Honestly, most consults are just sales pitches, sounds like you got lucky with this one.

inThat one Saturday the wind turned my gazebo into a kite
Ngl, that exact thing happened to me a few years back with a 10x10. Thought I had it secured too, but those little stakes just popped right out of the ground like they were nothing. The frame bent on two corners and one of the crossbars snapped clean. Bent it back with a pipe but it never sat right again. Yeah, the screw anchors are the way to go, but you gotta twist them in deep, not just hammer them. I also started crisscrossing the sandbags over the leg plates instead of just setting em on top, seems to hold way better. Wind is sneaky like that, itll find any weak spot you got.

inPaid $300 for a storage lift, used it twice, now it's a coat rack
Cursing at stud finders sounds about as fun as trying to flip that winch solo, @daniel474.

inThe $9 tool I ignored for a year actually works
You bought a ten dollar plastic toy and suddenly you're a tire expert, but those "rave" reviews you saw probably came from people who also think the penny trick is rocket science. I haven't measured tread depth in years and my tires have outlived half the cars in Phoenix, so either I'm lucky or all this number crunching is just paranoia dressed up as responsibility. Overthinking it just means you'll be replacing tires way earlier than you need to, and that's money better spent on gas.
