What made you realize it wasn't working? I used to be the same way, figuring people would just get what I meant. But then you see how much time gets wasted when someone has to guess, or worse, they guess wrong and you have to fix it all later. It's like giving someone half a map and being surprised when they get lost. Being clear just saves everyone the headache.

My buddy in Everett swears by that method for weird angles.

Cut costs on a hotel floor? That's wild. A tiny lip is a huge trip hazard. Can't believe they'd skip the threshold strip entirely.
