Mr. Fanboy ep 2 :
I agree, very stellar second EP from the show. I think it's in one way very fascinating to watch the comparison how this and Payback describe entertainment industry companies. Payback's description was very gloomy (fitting the overall theme of the show) while I think Fanboy's description is bit more balanced. The truth probably being something in between, and certainly in real life there most likely are companies that offer a lot of support to actors, while others are predatory and just throw you at the deep end to see can you swim.
I think only question mark I had for this ep was, that while it seems that the company in Fanboy is generally supportive to their new talent, but putting freshly recruited actors in an actual show's workshop without perquisite acting classes felt odd. And they even had very in-depth discussion about the classes with Wan before the workshop. For me this felt like not giving Wan all the opportunities to succeed. If a company genuinely recruits ppl trough short audition performances, that does not make anyone immediately a ready-to-film actor.

Found out the sill plate and rim joist at the back of my house is rotted out. 😮💨 I'll have to buy some hydraulic jacks, cut out a piece of the kitchen floor and go under the house and jack up the back a couple of inches and cut the rot out and replace it. 😭 This is going to be a long process.
That sounds like serious work. We've been in this house for over 25 years with minimum maintenance. Now, it's all catching up to us: another paint job, new windows, new roof (which means new solar), rotted cast iron pipes, etc. But nothing that needs a hydraulic jack. All the best with that process, and I truly hope it goes smoothly.

I'm doing everything myself so that will cut cost, but I still have to wait to buy all the tools for this a little at a time and the total cost in tools is around $850 for just this small section too. But yeah, while I have the hydraulic javks I can also level the house properly and line the crawl space with a specialized tarp for moisture control, then insulate underneath the floor boards. It will all the worth it when it's done. The house was really old and neglected for so long.
Yours sounds like a pain too. Especially the new roof and solar. I will be installing solar to a free standing shed (once I get it) and learning how all that works. Maybe I can add solar to my roof once I see how to properly prevent leaks.
Just a few more days until I get to see the cuties from Your Summer, My Storm ! 🥰

Oh no 😭 That sounds like a lot of work ! Good luck with all that, I hope everything goes well and you don’t have too many bad surprises.
Oh I'm expecting so many nasty surprises still. 😂 Every time I repair one thing, another issue is unearth. If I don't laugh I will cry. 😭
