Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

I bought my house in 2000. There is not a stitch of original drywall, wire, or insulation - every room has been stripped to the studs and reinsulated, rewired, and re-drywalled. I've replaced the roof, gut-renovated the bathrooms and kitchen, refloored the entire house, and did a major overhaul of the pool and yard. I converted our underground garage to a media room and replaced it with a detached garage.

Last year I was feeling close to done. then along came the need for new, new siding, eavestroughs, 4 new windows, and after 20 years of family service we need to reno 2 bathrooms, refinish hardwood, replace 1000sq' of decking, and lift/level 2000'sq of pavers.

I don't think the work ever ends. When you think you're finished, you just end up at the start of another thing.

24 years, the usual past due to redo what was previously done.... the never ending loop.
