A harbor inspection job flipped my view on underwater containment

I always thought putting up silt curtains was just busywork that cost us time. During a harbor wall inspection, we had to work right next to a kelp forest. The site supervisor demanded full containment, and I rolled my eyes at the extra effort. Halfway through the dive, I swam to the edge of the curtain and saw the kelp still clean and fish swimming in clear water. After we surfaced, the client showed us a side-scan sonar image with no silt spread outside our zone. That picture stuck with me and showed the real impact. Now I speak up for using curtains even on small jobs, because it keeps the habitat intact. It's a small step that makes our work better for the ocean long-term.

Vent: Paint finish didn't match the sample card

Did a test spot. Dried way too glossy for the room.

I finally showed my sketchbook to the other drivers at a rest stop, and one guy thought my monster trucks were real blueprints.
