Been there, done that. Plastic pans always seem like a good idea until you’re ripping up soggy subfloor. Tile’s a pain, sure, but at least it doesn’t ...
Tried rechargeables a couple times—honestly, not convinced they’re much of an upgrade. They tend to lose charge faster than regular AAs, especially if...
