Yes, this is about taking chances. Ideally I'd like guarantees, but hey, a marriage certificate did not stop hurtful things happening...
We are not quite done with the insides yet, and far from done on the outside. Guest room has just the bed in it, our bedroom needs curtains, the blinds we inherited are in tatters, and so the list goes on. But, it has been fun, and as it is a much bigger place, we are entertaining a lot more, which is also helpful in keeping us occupied.
