Honestly that "skip on the prep" thing is so real. My buddy tried to paint his whole apartment in one weekend to save on a hotel. He didn't tape anything or use drop cloths, just went for it. Spilled a whole tray of dark gray paint on the brand new carpet. The cleaning bill was more than a week at the hotel would have been. He fought the whole process and it cost him big time.

We had our lead tech handle it in-house, he's done a few hundred of these. The plan is a visual check every shift and a full pull test during the next scheduled maintenance in six months. It's holding fine so far, but we keep a spare section of line ready to go just in case. Nerves are normal, but a good splice on solid cable should outlast the rest of the machine.

Remember when my friend bought that weird sheep milk feta?

My sections look like a toddler drew them.

Hold up, you're telling me a broad question never works? Try asking a forum how to start a vegetable garden. If you only ask about fixing one specific yellow leaf, you'll miss the big picture on soil and sunlight that causes all the problems. @gavink95 might fix his floorboard, but he won't learn why the whole floor squeaks. Sometimes you need the wide view to solve the real issue, not just a quick fix that fails later.
