One certainly helped me get a new couch, for instance. So, does this mean that you guys have decided to quit looking for a new house? I remember when y'all were feverish about that, but I haven't heard anything on the subject for awhile.

I still quite like the shade. A mauvey/grey color, very neutral. (And be careful on those offers of help, Maureen. I am well-known for my Tom Sawyer like proclivities.) No, it really is the cats' fault. Had they not decided to express their uhm, displeasure on the carpet, none of this would be happening. On the other hand, the walls needed a fresh coat of paint. The bookcases were rickety. And The Dude and I needed to Come to Jesus about our scary file cabinets. On the whole, more of a win than not. I’m just repainting a fresh coat of the old color.

That's a given. I'm thinking of moving my "office" (a term that loosely applies to the desk at the end of the sunroom, but more accurately applies to the laptop in my lap) to the tiny little house we have in the back yard. This would require painting, maybe taking up the world's ugliest astroturf flooring, and some actual thought about where things should go. And a space heater, so the books don't turn to soup. Just hearing that someone else has gone through something similar is both encouraging and exhausting. And yes, our house also seems to have been built/remodeled by people who repaired to the beat of their own weird drummer, and it causes the most <i>interesting</i> problems down the line...

I had a friend that bought a perfectly fine house that needed minor adjustments before moving in. You know new flooring, maybe some paint. Well it's 3 years later and no one lives there yet. The good news, the house now has it's walls back. (They look exactly the same as the old walls to me.) I completely understand what you are saying.
