I did that two years ago with my bathroom. Down to the studs. Holy mama, is this kind of thing expensive. So we’re taking a more minimalist approach this time. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.
I freaking love my bathroom though.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The stupid guy from the stupid company that installed sprinkler lines 20 years ago directly in front of the stupid downstairs HVAC unit, which led to a delay in getting that fixed, which probably led to us having to completely replace the HVAC before we could close on the goddamn sale of our Dallas house, tried to bill us a week ago. We pushed back, and he was like, "I never agreed to work for free!" Then you shouldn't have put a pipe in front of the fucking HVAC. We sicced our realtor on him.

Our wings are not tired.
Buying houses, selling houses, maintaining houses, and renovating houses, all so much work. The first dozen years of married life, I rented, and it was easy peasy light and breezy. Granted, the homes I bought increased in value considerably, so that part was worthwhile. Still, I understand the arguments on both sides.

Happy birthday, askye!
I had the "oh damn, this cheap-ass flooring isn't going to last five years" realization over the weekend when I spotted some cracked panels. We'll see how adept I can get at only stepping on the load bearing planks. I want blinds and a front porch banister before I have to re-floor the whole house.
