I am actually subbing out the drywall this spring, I have a lot to do:
Crack in the ceiling between the addition and the original house
stairwell is FUBAR
Water damage in bathroom
Nail pops galore
Ceiling in hallway upstairs has separated from the rafters
etc.

I was adamant that Bobbie and I were going to do the kitchen, too. But... With all this trouble I am having? I am not so sure about it anymore.

Kitchens are just big bathrooms. In terms of challenge of repair, not means of use.

Well... Our house has two bathrooms so not that big of a deal if one is down for a while. We only got one kitchen... If that was offline for six months, chaos would ensue!

Time is the killer on home improvement jobs. That and the damn change orders

I think I am at the point where perfection is becoming the enemy of good enough. None of the drywall in the entire house is great. I think the people that built my home were cross-eyed and came to work most days drunk. Why should the bathroom be any better?

I changed our family motto years ago to Good enough it'll do.

Just keep telling yourself your not building a watch.

You have no idea how difficult that is for me. I'd have to override nearly twenty years of programming from perfectionist parents. DOES NOT COMPUTE!

It is amazing how much better one can feel after actually getting a good night's sleep. I actually feel human again!

Let's not get carried away, though.
