The turkey’s armpit :
Allow me to present to you my former living room/future kitchen, the bane of my fragile existence, and the reason that we did not celebrate Thanksgiving this year.
What’s a girl to do? We bought this house in order to renovate it and sell it back with a profit but we aren’t so sure if we made the right choice anymore. (Aargh !) The renovation as far more taking and expensive than we had realized and we are poorer than we had thought we would be… Sometimes I want to bang my head against a wall. Somebody please give me a wall - just maybe not the rock wall in my living room, since that could be quite painful.
Why can’t we just live young and free, like little birdies?
Oh, Lord, I feel your pain.
We purchased a fixer-upper as dopey, punch-drunk newlyweds with big dreams of fresh paint and sweat equity. This house has been the source of more tears, fights, hissy-fits, and fatalistic declarations (”I just wish it would BURN DOWN and we could get the insurance money.”
than I care to admit.
That said, our house is only 60 years old. Your exposed stone wall gave me a little panic attack just now. Best of luck!

We bought a ’starter’ home 20 years ago.
I’m still getting to 20 year old projects; enthusiasm has always been there; money, not so much…
Posted 7 months, 4 weeks agoIt’s rustic!
I kind of like the exposed wall look. There are a lot of people here that try to replicate that look.
It will be worth it when you are done! Our house isn’t even 20 years old and it needs all kinds of work which always turns out to be a nightmare.
