I was 99% done after only two trips and was thinking ha, but then I butter fingered the handle and it shattered.

That dog is looking at you like you’re holding ankle bones. Careful…

I think @wllm is actually just trying to work on his reaction score and catch up to @noharleyyet

Figured some house projects could up that score in the off season.

@p_ham is really hurting your chances with all that work he is doing for @noharleyyet

Total gutted second floor of our 120 year old house. Lath and plaster is not your friend. 100 % new every thing.nothing square or plumb.
sistered new studs, rafters, and floor joists. one of the worst thing was after the plaster was done how cold and damp the rest of the house felt until the plaster dried. Been putting off the first floor but it’s coming soon.

30 years from now, someone will look at that and say “can you believe that shit was once in style?” as they are tearing it out.

Pro-tip: put everything from home depot on the same credit card, buy way more than you think you'll need, and a bunch of miscellaneous things you 'might' need, and then return it all after your done with the job. It'll save a bunch of those 'just one one thing' trips.

Also determine what you're worth an hour. That way you have a number to compare to that new labor saving tool with. If spending 200 bucks saves you an entire weekend is totally worth it.

Welcome to the club. Membership is eternal… as are the projects. Funny how they pop up just as you finish the previous one.

Our new house isn’t even finished being built yet and I already have a huge list of projects to do.

Had to get new clipboards & pads to make secondary project lists.
Follow up projects the 1st project made.

If you live long enough a tradesman will move nearby and now I have a retired mason in the neighborhood too.
We have a whole const. company within 10 miles, all trying to do one project solo...LOL

Look at the bright side. You now have an excellent way to build hunting trip equity through completed house projects.

Don't forget the, "Oh, look who's finally fixing the (insert random item) I've been fussing about since we moved in. Thanks babe (heavily laden with sarcasm)." that's going to be lobbed your way at some point.

Our house has oak raised panel cabinets that were sooooo popular in the 90’s. I can rememeber installing the exact same stuff 30 years ago and thinging “god I hate those cabinets.” Oddly enough, I still do.

Full kitchen remodel is on the list after the basement.

Gotta beat them to the punch. I walk in the room and drop "There I fixed it" no matter how small the job was or how long it took.

I painted ours to save some money and I hate them even more now.

@wllm, save your receipts. I’m looking forward to the Rent Vs. Buy, Can we be honest? thread. The thought of the spreadsheet and charts is making me practically giddy.

It never ends.

Couple years ago I built my wife a brick paver patio on N side of our screen porch for Mothers Day.

Last week she looked at the (older and much larger) brick paver patio on W side of porch and says, "I think we should rip that out and turn it into grass."
