I went to my office, walked into a client meeting, unrolled a set of plans across the conference table, and spent the next two hours discussing foundations.
That word made me smile for the first time in months.
For years, I had thought a foundation was something you trusted because it looked solid from the outside.
I knew better now.
You test it.
You examine the cracks.
And when something can no longer carry the weight placed on it, you stop pretending expensive finishes can save it.
