And I hear you on the crazy sloppy work! We found things behind our walls that would make only Rube Goldberg beam with pride. I think it’s bound to happen, especially in an older home. And we may never get back all of the hours we put into it, but at least the house won’t, for example, explode from a DIY electric job by a person that clearly didn’t know jack about electricity.

And as for, “You can redo just about anything inside the house.” Yup…been redoing since the day we closed. 🙂
