Huh, sock wall's still there, sounds like nobody cared enough to tear it down, so who's the real weirdo here?

Buddy of mine ran a crew down in Broken Arrow and he made the switch after watching a finisher do circles on a warehouse floor. Said the ridges from figure eights only show up on cloudy days when the light hits sideways, which is why nobody catches it during the pour. He runs circles now on anything over 400 square feet and swears the straight edge pulls cleaner behind him.

Man, I gotta push back a little here. Shops quote different times for different cars all the time. A bumper job on a Honda Civic is not the same as a bumper job on a Tesla with sensors and cameras in it, so 5 days for one guy and 8 for you might just be two different jobs. And "overheard at a coffee shop" is about as reliable as a game of telephone, the buddy probably got the details wrong anyway. Some shops do overpromise, sure, but making it out like the whole trade is built on lies feels like a stretch. Trust gets wrecked by real bad work, not by a number you heard secondhand.
