Wait, he did that on an actual job site?

But that "lived in floor system" sounds like a tripping hazard to me.

My cousin did something similar at a home and garden show in Tulsa. He spent nearly eight grand on a huge corner booth with a working waterfall. The problem was he sold handmade birdhouses. People loved the water feature, but he only sold three small items all weekend. He basically paid thousands per birdhouse.

Applaud the confidence boost from a year risk-free.

You're right about the awkward parts being the point, @janac22. I read that many clubs skip tough scenes because people worry about causing offense. It totally misses why we read books together in the first place. Getting past that fear is a big deal for any group. When you do, the conversations actually mean something.
