March 2026? You're already buying a shed that far in advance? That's some next level planning right there.

But is watering at night really that big a deal for most gardens? I mean, unless you're growing something super fussy, the timing might not change much... My cousin waters his plants in the morning and they still look fine. It probably depends more on how much water you give them, not just when.

Has this story changed my mind about rushing epoxy?

Not sure if it's worth all the hype. Feels like they just stretch the story too thin most of the time. Gets boring after a while.

A 2008 Corolla with proper upkeep rarely needs MAJOR repairs beyond routine stuff. @verawalker has a point about aiming higher, but if your car is constantly breaking down, maybe it's a LEMON or you're skipping basic maintenance. I drove a similar model for years and only faced predictable costs like brakes and tires. Your situation sounds more like a series of bad luck events than a true financial emergency pattern.
