Communication was great. They sent updates at every step and the driver called ahead of delivery. Everything was transparent.

The part about it cracking after a few years... it reminds me of an old universal remote I had. The plastic got this weird sticky feel to it, like it was melting. Then the buttons just started to crack and fall apart if you pressed them too hard. I guess all that old plastic just gives up after a while... not just cables. Had to peel the rubbery gunk off with rubbing alcohol.

Hand watering can drown plants too if you're not careful with the amount.

Ever try fitting a door that's two inches off?

Man, this hits home. My dad always made this huge pot of chili every football Sunday, and half the neighborhood would just wander in. Now I just nuke a burrito and eat over the sink. Makes you miss that noise.
