Agreed.

When we bought this place, the assumption was that I would hire pros to do a bunch of the serious work--then the recession hit. Long story short, working on this house has dominated my life to an unhealthy degree. Stubbornness has kept me going--the alternative around 2010 would have been to default and walk away.

Still though it really does feel like I've given away a decade on a house that is still not finished.
