As a matter of fact, Mish, he is almost entirely renovating. He thought he was just tearing out all the fixtures (kitchen and bath), then new carpet and paint and all done! Initially he told me it would take him about two months. That was in February...
Wouldn't you know the windows were rotten so he took them out to replace them, and found out the siding was wet/rotten under the windows. So he tore all the siding off the front of the house, then off the side of the house, so I think now to make it all match (it was built in 1980 so old vertical wood siding) he will tear all the siding off...then the soffit was broken so he needed to replace it, etc etc etc
It is going to be a long winter at this rate.
Actually I am kind of excited at the prospect of dating. It has been a dozen years since college, but I was the fun-loving one, always going out with friends, flirting, etc. It will be strange but I am going into the idea with an open mind. Just the thought of eventually meeting someone I can hug/touch/kiss...yay!
