Heads up on that new foam-backed carpet from the big box stores

I used to just slap down foam-backed stuff with a regular stapler and call it a day. About two years ago, I had a job in a Phoenix condo where the whole seam puckered up after a single summer. The heat made the foam break down and the staples just pulled right out. Now I only use a proper carpet glue, like Roberts 6700, on a perfectly clean slab. It takes longer but it stays put. Has anyone else had to switch up their method for these newer carpets?

I finally saw the difference in how a celebrity's apology post changed after their team got involved lol

So my new wireless earbuds kept cutting out at the gym... I tried resetting the network settings on my phone and it actually fixed it.

Am I the only one who had a wedding client ask for a bouquet with 200 individual orchids last Thursday?

It was a great week until that request came in, because sourcing that many phalaenopsis stems on short notice (and staying within her $800 budget) meant I had to call in every favor with my three local wholesalers by Friday morning.

Finally got a clean edge on that marbled paper

I was hand-marbling some endpapers last week and the edges kept feathering out. On a whim, I tried sizing the paper with a 1:10 PVA solution before floating the colors, and the pattern stayed crisp. Anyone have a better sizing method for this?
