What do YOU call it?

Honey do list?

NOPE...any guy here who is married and has a shred of common sense will not even begin something on such a list.

Before I retired I used to call it "Saturday" because that would be the only time I had to work on the project. And it usually involved 3 trips to the hardware store.

I fondly call it the train wreck.

Now that there is funny!

Onset is usually about 15 minutes before I have to go somewheres.

That's why sometimes it's best to hire some things done. When they do it they will do what it takes and be done.
When I do anything it has to be perfect, and that kills me. So not olly do I want it perfect, but I want it to last 100 years, and built with the best products.

I started with a new faucet once, ended up redoing the whole bathroom in tile, stand up fully enclosed shower with a steam option, dual shower heads, sink and cabinets. That simple faucet cost me $10,000.

I should have hired a plumber.

DJ,

Your wheelbarrow reminds me of an old hammer my Dad once showed me. He said, "I've had this hammer for a long time". "Replaced the handle several times and put a new head on it once or twice, yep, I've had this old hammer a long time".

I call the fixer-upper house I bought the Money Pit. Even bought the movie so I don't feel alone.

This years list was to paint the bedroom, but then the ceiling looked like it needed a coat too, and since we are painting what about the mud room and the ceiling there too, and her bathroom, but the color didnt match so it had to be fully repainted. I just wanted to touch up a few spots

Kind of like setting out to replace a blown bulb but replacing all the electrical wiring eh ?

That has happened to me a few times. Not electrical wiring, but the idea.

Remember JEEP Stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. Trust me I know

And empty pockets more than anything have kept me from finishing it. I hope it's roadworthy by the time my nephew can drive in 10 years.
