Neverending Renovation

The very day we took possession of this house, a year ago June, our hot tub was delivered. The very next day, we started painting...John the upstairs, myself the basement. Throughout the past year we have (quite evenly spaced out, I might add) done the following:

* Completely remodeled the upstairs washroom, slate tile flooring, door-less glass shower..even a new toilet.
* New wood floor in the master bedroom, along with new closet.
* New wood floor in "hot-tub" room (I recently restored a travel-kitchen my grandfather made 40 years ago, and turned it into a side-table)
* New wood floor in theater room (more on that later)
* New vinyl floor in laundry/weight room
* New carpet in room opposite theater room, adjoining the laundry room
* Built a deck for the hot tub, and one for the sliding-glass door (for the BBQ)
* Removed the pole holding up the ceiling in the theater room and replaced it with a beam, giving us more room (the beam was in the middle of the room!)
* Had theater chairs delivered (John's idea) that with a push of a button, prop your feet up. Also holds beer.
...and most recently, using what remains of our slate tile to finish off the downstairs washroom.

Can anyone guess what we're avoiding? Anyone? Anyone?? Bueller?

That's right, boys and girls. It's the Kitchen. Estimates range from 20-30k. That's a lot of computers. Unfortunately, with the kitchen resembling something you'd see in a circa-1970's episode of "Mama's Family" the contrast with the rest of the house is too much to deal with. I almost expect Rod Serling to be standing in the corner of the kitchen when I walk in for breakfast:
"Portrait of a cheap procrastinator: Every morning David Bragg walks into this very kitchen to feed his golden retriever and to pour himself a bowl of cereal. And every morning he sighs with shame as he gazes at he out-dated flooring and aged pine cabinets. His life has earned itself a motto "Repeat". Regret, ignore, continue. And the next morning.. and the next morning."

Here's hoping that in 2011 I finally enter the Twilight Zone and finally stop caring so much about money.
