i bought a house in little rock that's 100 years old this month to work on last year and have been trying to keep it from falling down around me.
i gutted the garage/servants quarters out back and turned it into a shop, and have been amassing tools and sawdust at a rapid pace. i hired a guy offa craigslist to help with the work around christmas of last year,and we've been shaking our heads and cursing the place ever since
. so far we've reproduced about half of the paint ruined molding in the house, and after a failed attempt to clean up and save the doors and windows, we're now in the process of remaking those as well. in between all that we tore down all of the drywall that the previous owners put up over the plaster and repaired and refinished said plaster, and tore up all of their stupid white carpet while we were at it and restored the original wood floors.
in my neighbors' words, "so you traded going to an office and getting paid for it to do manual labor for free?" that's basically the situation, except it's nowhere near free, it's just varying degrees of losing money
