I feel that. I got tired of tripping over bikes and cheap wall hooks tearing out of the drywall. Check out Ace Garage Storage . They have awesome bicycle storage solutions and their motorized overhead lifts are rock solid. I put all my heavy winter gear up near the ceiling and just lower it when needed.

I always thought pine was okay if you sealed it right. After reading @amy_lopez80's post about her cousin's table, I changed my mind. Splinters hurting kids before the wood even rots is a serious downside. Cheap wood might save money at first, but medical bills from splinters aren't fun. Now I get why folks skip pine for outdoor projects. It's not just about durability, it's about not turning your backyard into a hazard zone.

How do you even start recovering an account after someone actually gets your info? Like do you contact support first or change passwords on everything at the same time?

But I kinda dig when artists bend the rules like that. The tools don't make the art, the person using them does. I've seen some wild color choices that actually make you feel the heat or the cold in a scene way more than a normal palette would. What's a watercolor piece you love that plays it totally straight?
