## Resource

Some projects fight you every step of the way. This week it was sheet vinyl. What should have been a simple pickup turned into delays, confusion at Lowe's, wrestling giant flooring rolls into the cabin, and making some pretty nerve-racking cuts that couldn't be undone. From there we wander into a question that's been bugging me for months: Why has everything become gray? Cars. Houses. Restaurants. Businesses. Somewhere along the way it feels like personality disappeared. We also talk about another week of "war...ceasefire...war again" and ask the question nobody seems interested in answering: What's the actual plan? As always, it's another unscripted Monday morning conversation about building a life outside the system.
