You obviously don't get out much. Everything we've ever done on a house was
measured against "how (un)saleable does this make the house" yardstick.

So you're flippers. Kate isn't. She plans to stay indefinitely. And she
doesn't want the second sink. She wants more counter space. So your
advice to her is to live with a useless sink and too little counter
space for the next 20 years, just because your wife would walk away from
the house? Seriously, that is insane advice, and I hope Kate doesn't
take it.


Do you paint you walls black hoping that you'll find the one similar loon that
will think it's a pretty shade?

g.f. loves dark, bold colors, and every room is painted such in her/our
place. I don't give a rat's ass whether anyone else likes it or not.
When we bought the place, every wall in every room was painted the same
particularly gruesome shade of yellow. We bought it and painted. Isn't
that what people do? Change things to their own liking? If we ever sell
it, and someone walks away because they can't live in a house without
off-white everywhere and are afraid to paint, well, so what?
