Once tried to paint my front door and fucked it up so badly that a professional had to sand it down. Cost me more than a workman would have done in the first place.

      Once everything was locked down, the small business I was using locally to supply exotic wood (and not-so-exotic) could no longer deliver. I offered to make multiple trips to haul it myself, but then they started going under as well. No one could deliver to them, so they couldn’t sell.

      It broke my heart for them. They were a small, family-owned company. Last I saw, they’re no longer in business. So sad that they lost what they had…

      I was lucky, since I wasn’t making a whole lot anyway, so I didn’t really lose too much. I supplemented the loss by going back to doing an “essential” trade.

      Really makes me wonder what could’ve been, though…
