Found a quick fix for sagging gate hinges last week

I was on a job where the gate kept sagging even with tight hinges. It was a big problem because the client needed it fixed soon. Then I thought about a trick I saw once with rebar. We cut a short piece and put it under the gate frame to hold it steady. This let us adjust the hinges without the gate moving. Now I always have some rebar in my truck for jobs like this. It really helped us get the work done fast and the client was pleased.

PSA: Giving up on cheap punties saved my sanity and my work.

Switching to quality tools made everything less frustrating.

I cleaned my trowel after each job, but seeing a mate's rusted one shifted my thinking.

I'm done politely explaining why you can't 'just try' running a crane during family dinner arguments.
