Does anyone get tired of trying to make so many decisions???
Comments (39)I actually loved the research, but then I'm weird that way : ) The work was fine (partial DIY) as I love getting physical... up to a point. Now I'm just totally exhausted and sore. The decisions of what to buy, which to choose? My goodness yes I'm tired of it. Granted, some of it's been fun (easier choices) - all the kitchen 'jewelry' (faucets, pulls) were easy, as were the appliances (I can be pretty decisive about needs) but when it came time to tally up the cost, that was not fun! But big things like colors for cabinets, counter tops, "what type and how much and where" on the lighting... some easy, some hard. But I have to admit, despite all the difficult choices, I agree with oldbat2be when she said: "there's a lot of satisfaction involved in making the right decision and even more in recognizing that you didn't proceed with your original plan which wouldn't have been as good as what you ended up with" It's such a wonderful feeling to look at our choices and say YES, that's wonderful! And had we moved faster with our remodel, we would never have had the chance to change our minds or improve upon certain things. What I'm really tired of? Having to use the same utility sink to wash dishes, to clean up filthy hands, to clean up after our dog (who's in diapers now due to incontinence) and all the scrubbing and disinfecting of that dang sink! I hate carrying things all the way to it, carrying things back... oh to have a kitchen again! With a sink... no, 2 sinks! I'll be in kitchen heaven : )...See MoreSo tired of looking. Suggestions in MN
Comments (13)Thanks all. As I was writing up the experience, I think I was starting to think the same thing...all this...why am I even considering these guys anymore! :) I'll suck it up and move on. Investigate some of the other manufacturers mentioned. As I understand it, pets, people, plants are all sources of moisture (i.e. humidity). I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, 3 adults, plants, and condensation on the windows. Per the rot...when the window is shut, I cannot see the rotten spot at all from inside the house or from the outside of the hosue. When the window is open, I can see rotten wood in the lower corner. When I say rotten, I mean that when I push on the wood in that corner it moves and makes a squishing noise. Pretty. So, I have been assuming this means full frame. Thanks so much for the input. So glad that MN allows for a 3 day cancellation of these kinds of contracts. Now, back to the drawing board. :)...See MoreSo, so tired of neutral rooms
Comments (187)havingfun, even more than just the wealthy who went on European tours, (and probably did have houses that were designed by architects, at least from a patternbook, Hale points out that Vernacular dwellings and the simplest forms of houses built in the United States by early settlers and by homesteaders as they moved west had good proportions. We knew by some instinct how to build something that had a good relationship to the human scale. He feels, if I remember correctly that this started to break down with the Victorian architects who started combining lot of influences and building particularly to impress. He is even critical of Colonial Revival (If I remember correctly) as often ill-proportioned as compared to the "real thing", and these are houses we consider very charming today compared to a lot of newer stuff....See MoreHave you ever been so tired that .....
Comments (22)Katlan, that's tired. I think the most tired I've ever been is coming off a long day on the ocean. I would stand in the shower and rock back and forth, shifting weight from one foot to the other as still on the boat. Too tired to finish what I'd gotten in there for and wanting only to be warm in bed ;0) Nothing clever with remotes though. Mine is one button in my car...garage door opens, I drive in, from there I step into my office with no key. I'm not sure I've ever unlocked a door to this house with a key and we've been here 7 years as of yesterday....See Morearkansas girl
