The most committed 67 per cent keep going until a storm threatens to take down their gazebo. A further 45 per cent hold their ground through thunder, a third press on through a full storm, and winds of around 30 miles per hour are not enough to stop others. A spokesperson for bakery…

The Coordination Problem In a traditional renovation, an owner might hire a designer or architect to plan the work and a separate contractor to carry it out. That split can create gaps. Designs may not fully account for construction realities, costs can shift…
