inFoundation rot ate my first container build in under 3 years
Crushed stone is actually supposed to drain, not wick moisture upward.

inTried painting a container roof white to cut heat, ended up with condensation issues
I did the same thing on my 20ft container two years ago with a white elastomeric coating and got those exact condensation drips in the morning too. I used to think the more reflection the better but after seeing water pooling on my floor I realized you need to balance the white paint with some ventilation or insulation underneath. It changed my mind about those reflective coatings being a simple fix for container heat.

inPicked the wrong book for our club's beach trip and got roasted for it
Next time grab a paperback that fits in a cargo pocket and won't feel like a brick in your bag. Hardcovers are for cabin reading, not beach trips, learned that one the hard way myself.

inVent: My old coffee shop got turned into a WeWork
Used to roll my eyes at this take, but honestly you're making sense to me now.

inHad a moment this morning that changed how I think about brake jobs
Ray from the forum is dead on about the straight edge. That's the only way I've found to catch it without pulling the caliper off and trying to wiggle it. Dial indicator on the rotor will show runout but not always tell you if it's the bracket or the hub. That F-150 probably had a high spot on the bracket where the pad rides. Once it gets heat cycled enough times it starts to bend. I've seen it happen on Fords more than anything else, especially the older trucks with the big single piston calipers. Were you able to feel that bracket when you had it off? Or did you just look at it and assume it was okay?
