Eh.
Isn't renovation fun? Ellen and I wanted a nice place on the water (which there was no way we could afford) so we bought this...



Over the next two years, we turned it into this...



When it had been substantially completed for one day, Hurricane Isabel came and completely destroyed it. We had to do the whole project again.

Renovating twice is much more fun than renovating once.
