My friend Tom had a condo in Chicago with a tiny bathroom. He insisted on oil paint for the window trim right before winter. Every time his family took a hot shower, the glass would fog and the paint stayed tacky for days. He ended up borrowing a dehumidifier and running it for 48 hours straight just to get the final coat to harden. Have you tried using a dehumidifier on a job like that?

Mocked e-bike users until I borrowed my friend's for a grocery run. Flying up hills without pedaling hard is a game changer, no joke. Now I'm shopping for my own, despite all my earlier trash talk, lol.

Sometimes a bad mix or hot weather will crack slabs no matter how much you baby them with water.
