Had the same thought until I watched a YouTube video where the guy nearly hit his gas line. That freaked me out. Honestly, I’d rather have muddy shoes than accidentally dig up something important... Maybe I’m just parano...
RE: When your bathroom sink ends up off-center
Totally get this - my first attempt at swapping out a sink, I thought “close enough” would be fine. Turns out, that tiny bit off-center bugged me every single day. My partner didn’t even notice, but it drove me nuts. End...
