The new _______doesn’t quite fit,so we need to move________which means the old______will have to go________and _________will require new wiring. The base floor needs to be replaced, you’re lucky we found it before it caved in……..
I used to work at a building supply store years ago. I designed a kitchen for a young couple. The wife was all ready but the husband wasn’t. They would come in every Saturday morning and we would tinker with the design but the husband wouldn’t pull the trigger. After months of this, the couple came in and the husband was ready to buy. I wrote up the bill and directed him to the loading bay. The wife and I took the shortcut thru the warehouse. I asked her why, after all this time, was he ready to commit. She told me she was tired of waiting. This morning when he went to get milk, she said she took all the dishes and groceries in their kitchen cabinets out, went into their garage and got her husband’s sledgehammer.
When we looked to re-do the kitchen, we definitely decided to junk the jade-green linoleum backsplash. However, my wife’s preference for a perfect plaster job wasn’t working out. So, thanks to a container of wallboard compound and a free hand with a putty knife, I decided to play up the imperfections with a surface we’d seen in a local Mexican restaurant.
We moved into our house 32 years ago. We planned to redo the kitchen. We did replace the handles on the cabinet doors/drawers, bought a new electric range as the gas one had a leak and I didn’t like gas (my parents paid for the stove as housewarming gift) – we replaced their refrigerator with ours from our apartment (theirs went into the garage until we redid as husband’s wood workshop then out garbage) and then replaced ours twice with new ones when the old ones went bad (and hate the one we have now as new ones don’t work the same as old ones and it is either too cold for husband’s insulin or too hot for the food to be safe as meanders up and down in temperature all day and night). Kitchen, living room, and our bedroom we had painted when we moved in – never got around to painting any of the other rooms.
Same furniture – well, added a desk for me in our office – but it is the one my parents bought me when I was second grade.

If a marriage can survive a kitchen remodel it can survive anything.

They now needed new cabinets. True story.

I don’t like change.
