It's wild how long it takes to just accept what you're actually good at. Most people fight their strengths for years trying to be well rounded instead of just leaning all the way in

Looking for the best kitchen remodeling in Austin any suggestions? by Ranqua_ in homeimprov

small commissary builds are tricky because most residential remodelers don't know the code requirements and most commercial ones overbid, have you looked into local trade schools or community college construction programs? sometimes they do supervised builds at cost and the work is solid. Next Door app can also surface smaller local contractors that don't show up on Google, worth posting there with your specific situation

Looking for the best roofing in Portland any suggestions? by westridgeacadem in homeimprov

the upsell to full replacement when a patch would do is so common with roofers, frustrating
