It Never Ends!

It starts with remodeling one bathroom...

Then you add tiling the family room and kitchen. So you have to tile the other bathroom too because it's off the kitchen. Diagonally laid tile is much more classy than straight. It continues with tearing down the 70's paneling. Geez, there isn't any drywall underneath the paneling so that means all new drywall. Then it's sanding the kitchen cabinets. That fails miserably and so you get estimates to reface the cabinets. Decide instead to demolish the kitchen completely and so now it's new cabinets, granite countertops and new appliances. The plumbing is old so of course replace all of the corroded galvanized pipes and some of the sewer lines. Oh, it never ends....
