My mentor told me to always dimension from a single origin point... I ignored it on a big set of foundation plans and paid for it.

Our street's DIY coffee stand is a budget miracle and a mess

We got tired of blowing cash at the fancy cafe on the corner. Now we all chip in for beans and brew in a makeshift shed, cutting my weekly costs by a lot even with the occasional terrible cup. Has your block ever tried something this silly to save a few bucks?

Shoutout to a client who actually read the specs
