Why is it so cold in my house?
I thought you would keep me warm when I purchased you,
but you just stand there cold, and uninsulated.
I thought maybe the blown in insulation would keep me warm, but maybe it was just me that was mistaken.
Thankfully you have a wood stove,
which allows me to burn the wood in the wood shed the previous owner left behind.
Thank you previous owner.

Lessons learned by renovating our home…but only learned in hindsight
Some things I learned while renovating our home.
1. Be prepared to not get anything done that you want done for the day.
2. Be prepared to find nasty crap in the walls, floors, ceilings, and plot of land your home sits on.
3. Be prepared to take 4 hours on a project that should only take about 1 hour.
4. Be prepared to buy lots of things you think you need to get such as doors, and tools, only to return them to the store later.
5. Rushing to complete a project is like dooming yourself to torture in the near future.
6. Things will never look the same once youve done the work yourself. You notice the smallest imperfection in the same work all around you in restaurants, homes, and hotels (ig, tiling).
7. DO your homework before believing what others say you should do.
8. Eat at regularly scheduled times during the project.
9. A truck is very useful. So is a shop vac.
10. Dont be cheap (ironic…), itll end up costing you more in the long run. This is especially true for tools.
