The roofers are still going, 12 hours and counting.

@yogapaddlerun oh that's awful

@SaltyVeruca My house is tiny too!

@yogapaddlerun @SaltyVeruca mine took days.

I do not have a huge house.

@Beanc @SaltyVeruca Did you freak out that you picked the wrong color? I hate spending this much money. 😫

@yogapaddlerun @SaltyVeruca
Sigh, I didn’t really? But only because I knew that at some point (please let me win the lotto) I want to reside the house.

So like…. I was just trying to find a color that wouldn’t look *horrible* with the current color and would look *good* with a number of colors.

So midt one gray 😅

@Beanc @SaltyVeruca We want to reside the house (with an addition…someday) Hoping to go off white vs yellowed 1973 Sears vinyl. Roof a lighter brown/tan.

@yogapaddlerun @SaltyVeruca
That wil look cute!

Sounds like similar challenges haha.
In the interim, we’re just embracing “vintage”

@yogapaddlerun when you find cute color combos/exterior palettes let me know.

That I do obsess about and I’m still probably 2-3 years out lol.

@Beanc I have so many pinned in my IG! 🤣

Need to do safety and efficiency upgrades before exterior though. Le sigh.

@yogapaddlerun same- though I’ve done many (sewer, roof, tear down/safety structure and new panel/ grounded bathroom). And tbh, kitchen - part of it safety (electrical /core - remainder of plumbing), but also….. I’m on a tenure clock and given the other upgrades, I worry about selling it if I do t get tenure without doing some work on it.

It’s kinda the sore thumb now that I did the other fixes 😅

Dammit.
Remodelling is a snowball.
Or an avalanche.

One of those.

@yogapaddlerun I *think* the cabinets are maybe 50 years old. Guessing, but they sit on a second layer of flooring, which has asbestos.

They certainly smell that old.

@Beanc @yogapaddlerun bring me in on the kitchen cabinet choices.
One of my preretirement goals . Mine dont stink but are splintering. Might not be able to close anything with one more layer of paint.
Having a hard time imagining a good choice tho.

@damselfly59 @yogapaddlerun lol I keep trying to push ikea and my contractors keep trying to push me off a cliff

@damselfly59 @yogapaddlerun tbh, I’ll probably do a midrange RTA because I don’t want to pay for a $60k kitchen I might have to sell

@Beanc @damselfly59 I want extra plain, white cabinets with butcher block counters. Fancy glass backsplash. Someday.
