My husband and I have been talking about painting and replacing the wood paneling (NOT a professional job; it was there when I bought it) in our house ever since we got married 18 years ago, and the wood paneling is still there and the walls are still white (bo-o-oring), and it's getting less and less likely that we're ever going to get around to it, although he has some big plans for the yard...
I've come to the conclusion that a house is always a work in progress -- if you ever get it exactly the way you want it, you better take a picture and save it because it's not going to stay that way for very long. :roll:
Yep .... it's work in progress (you should see my front patio .... building materials storage area ....
Next big renovation is a nice big deck along the length of the back of my house and a roll-off roof observatory to finally give my big astrograph and the big heavy (currently tripod mounted) GEM a permanent home , and maybe some raised beds to grow herbs and berry plants and vegs in.
