Our House. You know how contractors and builders and repairmen and installers come into a house and they can't make it look like whatever they are doing is a no-brainer because that might make you think you can do it on your own? So they have this bravado like, "Ah, geez, wow, well of course I can do it - here is my estimate..."
What I think is funny in a sad way is that our house doesn't just kick our butts. It kicks everyone's butt that has ever worked in it. I don't use any of the companies that originally did work for us because they groan when they here it's our house. And believe it or not, it is NOT just me they don't want to deal with. I am a consistent, non-whining payer, they LOVE me. My house? My house has kicked their butts. People bring in other people to train in my house and they tell them horror stories about their first experiences.
I hope whoever takes this house from us whenever we are ready to sell loves the challenge and all the beautiful oddities because this house has potential - you just have to be an ironman to work on it.
