Star trails in those videos aren't static; they're cumulative movements you miss by rushing.

Totally relatable, silence heightens every sound. Have you tried ambient noise?

You mentioned the speed increase was more than expected, but how serious are we talking? For a simple shed or deck, marking each stud individually doesn't take that long. Is hauling and aligning a perfect pole around the site really faster than a tape and a pencil for small jobs? It seems like a solution for a problem that isn't always a huge time sink, especially when a lot of layouts are forgiving if you're off a quarter inch.

Ever hear about someone turning a random skill into cash? My buddy Dave did exactly that with coffee machines. He fixed our office's espresso maker that was spewing grounds everywhere, and word spread fast. Before he knew it, he was doing weekend house calls for fancy machines in our neighborhood. He made decent side money and now people text him before buying a new machine, lol. So yeah, from what I've seen, it can definitely be worth the hassle if you enjoy it.
