Completely miss f longs. Always trapped between wanting what I want, limited budgets, and the oppression of ecological impact.

Love this. As a wife of a realtor, I think we get stuck in the resale of it all too often. The joy and connection matters so much more to me (even if just to do partial reno. Mostly, I still want this kitchen reno for you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Getting money back out of real estate projects is such an interesting theme. Here in Germany, people often over-invest in renovation work (even if they rent!) because they plan on never leaving except feet first 😂.

Great one, so excellent and thorough
Thanks Sami!
