I'm pretty good at keeping everything building (gotta work on doing it during harass micro though), but I'm always afraid of building too much stuff, or just don't even think to add on buildings.

Personally, I do 3 production building per base.

Yes, use scans and if u can get a viking or 2 because they can -
1. scout
2. overlord hunting
3. sniping queens
4. hit open xpos

Trust your own units!
Marines makes multas look silly. Seriously, 2 marines > 1 multa ...
Thors are hard counter to multas, cost by cost.
Vikings are not a counter to multas!

Soo, 5 turrets and 10 marines per xpo = multa free zone ^_^
Zerg will prob need 20 multas to break that and is NOT a good trade.
