Big angry tea kettle" is how I describe my last project deadline.

But it's not like the show got cut off in the middle of a huge cliffhanger.

You really pulled up two rows for just one inch? On a big floor like that, a single inch over that whole space is nothing. Most of the time you can just fudge the cuts at the walls and nobody will ever know. Seems like you wasted three hours for no good reason.

Wasn't there a guy on a forum who used a strip of that adhesive-backed sandpaper on the rail instead? Seems like that would give some grip without needing to jam in a block that might shrink or swell.

Yeah I used to just grab whatever stool was nearby for repair work. Then I started getting this sharp pain right between my shoulder blades after a couple hours. Finally switched to a decent chair with some lumbar support and the difference was crazy. Even a cheap office chair is way better than a kitchen stool, my back doesn't feel wrecked anymore.
