Renovations…
- always require more demolition than we had anticipated,
- always make a bigger mess than we had hoped,
- always take longer than we had expected,
- always cost more than we had first thought,
- and
- always try our patience and commitment far past what we had thought was our breaking point.
But… if done right, without compromise and with unlimited resources, what a wonder can result!
And no one then complains that it wasn’t worth it, but instead exclaims,
“Wow.”
I am looking forward to seeing the truth of these words borne out, as we begin to clean up/restore our basement after another flood here in southern Alberta…
(Or is it possible you were referring to renovations of a deeper, more lasting sort?) 🙂
