That one week I built a cardboard castle for my niece's birthday party
Last month I spent five days straight cutting, folding, and hot-gluing a massive castle out of about 30 moving boxes for my niece's 7th birthday, and it ended up standing taller than me at 6 feet tall. The towers collapsed twice before I figured out I needed to reinforce the corner joints with extra strips of cardboard, and my hands were sore for days after. Has anyone else tried making something that big and ran into balance issues with the walls?

Nah, you just needed better bracing from the start.

Better bracing from the start"? That's wild, I never even considered that as an option. I thought the whole point was you set it up and hope for the best until it all comes crashing down. Are you telling me some people actually plan for the wobble before it happens?
