Sounds about right. My own Google skills are so bad it's a wonder I passed the bar.

Remember when my uncle tried to fix a small drip under his sink. Ended up flooding the whole kitchen because he didn't think he needed to turn the main water off first. Sometimes a small problem is just a warning for a bigger one.

Remember wrestling with a brick walkway a few years back, using a regular hammer and just chipping the edges like crazy. Switched to my dad's old rubber mallet and it was like night and day. The bricks just settled into the sand without any fight, no more jagged corners. It felt less like a battle and more like I was actually building something. Saved so much material from the scrap pile.

Seriously? I've messed up cuts following a bad wall too, but it's just tile. Most walls aren't square anyway, that's just how houses are. You can spend all day trying to make a perfect pattern, or you can just get it close and grout it. Once the furniture is in, nobody is ever going to notice a slight angle except you.

My piece was just some abstract shapes, so maybe it helped people focus by being genuinely boring. It wasn't some bright, flashing animation. Libraries probably just need to be smart about where they put these things and how bright they are. A constant slideshow in a silent study room is a bad call. But in a lobby or common area, it's a nice way to show local stuff. I guess my art's superpower is being ignorable.
