Steve (the no-biotch-crazy-wife-gonna-make-me-sell-my-house) realtor to the rescue.

First off - the entry wall/ main foyer / first room you see in the house - paint it F**KING ORANGE! puke orange and tear out the ceiling dry wall and insulation to fix that leak you have been meaning to fix for years. (lets see, nope not interested lets look at the next house for sale)

next - your bedroom - feng shui - what color would you like for the next year or two? good choice!

and your living room - this is where you'll do most of your entertaining. make it entertaining.

and me personally- i have always wanted to rebuild an engine in my kitchen. kinda rhymes.

(wait till the courts make you sell it dude, if you want it. if she doesnt want you in her life, why do you need to paint YOUR life the way she wants its?
