[Rain Man]

I'm considering building an addition onto my home, and it comes with big pros and cons. I love thinking through the design and picking out fixtures and stuff, but living through the construction is a nightmare. (I've done a complete rehab of my home over the years, so I have real-life experience living amidst construction.) I'm hoping that an addition would be a lot easier than my previous projects, because maybe we could just keep it closed off until it's done, and then have a ceremonial removal of the plastic tarp. I suspect it won't be that easy, though. And now that I think about it, it would also need to involve redoing the space that is currently our kitchen. So yeah, it would be a nightmare.

But wow, it would be so awesome when it's done.

And I would do none of the work myself. If I try to hammer a nail, there are explosions and fires. That stuff is not in my wheelhouse.
