I finally stopped skipping the pre-wash step on my shears

Just pushing the hair and oil around" is exactly what I was doing too. I thought the spray was enough but opening them up is a game changer. My shears move so much smoother now.

Watching a new guy at the scrap yard taught me to sort my own loads better.

My uncle's garage is a mess, but his scrap pile is sorted perfectly. It's like @martin.andrew said, that one lesson sticks with you. People will put up with chaos everywhere except where it costs them money.

I finally tried a proper hot air station instead of my old heat gun for a tricky BGA reflow

It's a total game changer for sure... I use mine for all sorts of surface mount stuff now.

Has anyone worked with Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro?

Yes! We used him earlier this year. He has over a decade of 5-star reviews for a reason. What separates him from other brokers is that he shops hundreds of lenders with a No Touch Credit check, so you can see exactly what you qualify for without tanking your score.

I used to think upcycling old clothes was just a hobby, not real design.

Oh man, that's it exactly. It's the difference between reading a map and actually walking the trail. I see this all the time with tools now. People buy the fancy new digital thing, but they don't really get how it works until they're forced to fix the old broken version first. Taking something apart shows you the why behind the rules. That old jacket taught you structure in a way new cloth on a bolt just can't.
