Because I care about your sanity

Take it from your old Aunt Martha: don't remodel. Just. Don't. 'Cuz stuff has a way of snowballing on you. First it was the floors -- finding out they don't make the Pergo we have any more, so we have to punt. Then finding out the Pergo was laid wrong in the first place. Great, okay, we can handle that. It's only a 10% overage. And then it was the discovery that the wiring to our ceiling fan was shoddy and dangerous. Okay, new ceiling fan. We'd been wanting that anyway, but were planning to wait. Last night, I closed the garage door with a lovely feeling of impending completion. The cabinets were installed. Tile floor goes in next. Electrical too. Allllllmooooooost done. SPROING! CLUNK! The old garage door, she be dead. Way dead. The spring had broken, the pulleys geronimo-ed off the tracks and the door wasn't gonna budge. Not good when you've got a crew coming the next day to lay tile, box in cabinets, finish out the garage wall, etc. Did you know there are companies who do 24-hour garage door repair? It's true! Oh, sweet angels of goodness! So, this morning, the old door is being hacked out and we're getting a new, not fancy but definitely functional door. I repeat, just DON'T start remodeling. Just don't.
