Is this implying there is only one per room??

Yeah, the real horror is wondering where all your other projects have gone….

I swear I had a half done Bob Ross styled painting in there somewhere, pretty sure it was with my brewing kit and my books on gardening, which have also gone.... Did I sell them? No, why would I do that...

Ha, yea as a DIY homeowner I tend to start a remodel and once it gets to a usable state I lose interest. My basement bathroom with no trim and office with no trim proves this.

Omg I don’t remember posting this..

My stairs were sanded down years ago, never got around to re-coating them (tho that’s partially because 3 corner treads need to be replaced and I just don’t want to do it)

My windows were replaced a decade back and still don’t have interior trim.

I put in hardwood floor, but never put new baseboards in.

I installed a furnace and new ductwork, but never fixed the run to the front room (it was ripped out a long time ago, and needs a new flex line, but I’ll have to take out part of the living room ceiling to install it I think..)

The list just keeps going and going.. someday I’ll finish at least a few of these things!

Half!? Who knew that I was so far along, in my many projects?

We don't talk about the room

Embrace the 80% solution (or whatever level that suits you)
