Come on now, is this your first project? Changes happen all the time, it's just part of building stuff. You get a new drawing for a light switch location or a different pipe size, you deal with it. Sure, tearing out a whole wall sucks, but that's pretty rare. Most of the time you're just tweaking things, not starting over.

My credit union sends text reminders three days before a payment is due. That usually gives me enough time to log in and pay without a late fee. I get where you're coming from, but I see it as more of a nudge to stay on top of things. Mailing checks was a pain because they could get lost or arrive late, lol. Now with auto-pay, I never have to worry about it.

Might as well be a bank with those holds.

Yeah, I was totally in that same boat! I always thought it was a waste of time for simple shapes. Then I made a vase that was so crooked it was laughable. That one piece taught me more than a hundred perfect ones ever could. Now it's just part of the routine, no matter what I'm making. That extra few seconds saves me so much headache and lost work later on.

You hit the nail on the head. Once you see that handmade color range, the flatness of tube paint really stands out.
