OneThing Leads to Another

Started out only wanting a sliding glass door put in where the living room window was located...

• If you put in a sliding glass door it might as well lead out to a nice patio
• If you have a nice patio you want nice landscaping
• If you have the window left over from the sliding glass door you should take out part of the brick wall that adjoins the fireplace and install the window to allow more visual space so you can see the nice patio and new landscaping
• If you take out part of the brick wall for the window then the fireplace doesn't look balanced, so you build a custom bookcase on the opposite side of the fireplace
• When you took out part of the brick wall you had to remove some carpet, but it would be nice to have tile where you walk in the sliding glass door from the pool
• Now that you have completely taken off all the paneling on one wall and replaced it you might as well paint the entire living room, oh yeah, crown molding would look nice
• The living room is beautiful but the playroom next to it looks like a dungeon, so you remove the huge unused playroom fireplace completely
• Now all the paneling has to be removed because it cannot be matched
• That means paint has to be picked and might as well put crown molding in there too
• Tile has to be placed where the fireplace was because you cannot afford to carpet the entire house
• Tile also has to be placed where the built in bookcases were removed
• Might as well put tile inside both the outside doors
• The bathroom tile looks horrible next to the new tile, so we should tile the bathroom
• When the toilet is removed to place the tile a leak is found along with bad baseboard
• If you have to replace the baseboard then you might as well take out the vanity, sink, and medicine cabinet and put in new ones
• Now the paint looks horrible and so lets paint it to match the playroom
• Oh yeah, now the foyer needs work, so we will build some custom bookcases in there and repaint, add crown, etc.
• While all this is going on, a bad post is found on the front of the house ...
