This came out in one go, which is unusual for me.

My father had a way of standing
at the edge of rooms,
as though he was not sure
if he belonged inside them yet.

I catch myself doing it now.
Doorway to kitchen,
hallway to whatever comes next.
Hovering. Inheriting his hesitation.

I don't know, I had a different experience. The thing that keeps me going back is usually the atmosphere more than the mechanics.

Good shout. ::)

Makes sense. Totally get that.

Appreciate it.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

ElPresidente

That is the sensible route. Turned out alright when I did it.

VB

Same thing happened to me. Still playing it tbh.

Sorted it the same way. I always do a test run on something less important before committing to the main job.

Should be fine if you take your time.

VB

Same here tbh. Would recommend giving it a go.

Seems like it from what I have seen. That is my read on it anyway.

veritas.io

Yeah that is the sensible route. I have learned to be suspicious of any fix that requires you to change multiple things at once.

Should sort it if the basics are fine.
Coffee first. Questions later.

I would probably do it differently. That is the thing isn't it.

Good stuff. ;)
Be excellent to each other

Agree completely, preparation is everything. The materials are usually a smaller cost than the tools you need to work with them.

Let us know how it turns out. :)

Pretty much where I landed after trying a few things. Let us know how it goes.
Opinions are my own. Obviously.

From what I saw that checks out. I try to find two or three different sources before forming a proper view on something like this.

More to come on this I suspect.
Opinions are my own. Obviously.

Inland Sienna

Fair point, that is a better way of looking at it. Going to look that up properly.

Static Estuary

Agree completely, preparation is everything. Post a photo when it is done.
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Ben

I might be missing something but that feels off to me. I will dig into that further.

Myles

Agree, and the implications are bigger than most people realise. Interesting to see where it goes. :D
