I have not been posting here lately because a few weeks ago my wife
decided to buy a new shower curtain...then noticed the rest of the
bathroom looked dingy.

Not only have we now ripped the room entirely apart and put it back
together , we've redone the living room, dining room

and now are re-doing the entire kitchen (except for the floor)


She originally made no plans for new lighting and someone here mentioned
that.


Yesterday she said, "Hey we should replace the lights too"

Immediately I agreed and told her "saw that coming"



My wife and I are doing most of it ourselves and pay a friend to assist.


The only thing we are "hiring out" for is the wall paper hanger


and the installation of the new sink/counter.

Home Depot told me they require their own contractor to measure and
install it ...
that's fine with me. Because I will remove the old one and do the
plumbing hook up the price is minimal.

We have no shower curtains. $26,000 later, both bathrooms have glass
doors. I know your pain. Kitchen is next.

25 years ago I ripped the kitchen down to the 2 x 4"

(real 2 x 4" in this 117 yr old house and put in 5/8" drywall.

At least that is still good.

25 year old wallpaper is coming out tomorrow

I can take a shower with no curtain, washing my hair ( or lack of it)
takes two seconds.


I think she needs it done right though

We ran out of things to do in the house (kitchen, 2 bathrooms, bedroom
etc)
She bought a swing at the boat show and we had to add a 200 sq/ft
covered deck to our 2300 sq/ft screen cage.

Some people retire and a month after they do they die. I want to keep
going, and so far so good since I retired, just like you.

yep. I've known a number of people who had no idea what they'd do...and
they soon died.


I once overheard a conversation where one of the men was well old enough
to retired but stayed on a job he HATED pimply because he said:

""But I would not know what to do otherwise."

The first few days I was off from work I didn't know what to do with
myself. After a few weeks of that I started working on little projects
and I haven't stopped since.

job and co-workers. I don't consider it "work"Next year it will be 3
1/2 days
