      Great effort here, you’ve really made use of the extra time the ‘rona empowered us with to hone in on your DIY skills ☺️.
      I was worried how you casually ‘tossed’ that plastic utility knife aside with an extended blade after cutting the box straps and seeing you wearing 🧦 it’s steel blade is ubër sharp 😱. One more safety tip...cut away from your body when using those knives (if you must) 🤓
