I can't believe you remember the pantry, Lou! Sometimes it is easy to remember a compliment, especially on a dark day Lil.
You said I was similar to your bf in that we are both handy and can create and/or do things. I have had a few dark days, they pass, but little things you and others have said help more than most people will ever know.
I get lots of compliments from customers and get paid for doing things I like to do. My family and social area is short on compliments and appreciation sometimes. Sounds normal, doesn't it?
To this day he has never finished it! It's totally usable Functional vs. appearance. I know that role too well too.
Sometimes I feel that the cost of the main parts of a repair are reasonable, it's the parts for the finishing touches that seem to be over priced.
Last year I remodeled the main bathroom, except the flooring. I just changed the flooring in the bathroom because the old linoleum was good but a little out of style.
I have some tile trim pieces to install but what I want isn't what BB wants, so about an hour's worth of final finish work is on hold till we find something we both like. I have 2 sets of trim pieces cut from different tile, just sitting there. They looked good by them self or with one part of the bathroom decor but something just doesn't look right to bridge or blend the cabinetry with the floor covering and the counter top.
The tile is low priced and I bought the tile-saw so I am not out much. The mastic/glue cost as much as the tile and once installed it's a major job to remove the tile and replace it.
Part of this is the 7-- they get a buzz from planning but can get stuck in that stage and never carry out the plan. So, how does one improve one's self in situations like this?
I have gotten overly optimistic and have had to reign in my optimism sometimes, telling myself that some things look easy but will require about double the time I first estimated. I know that is not an Enneagram type of response. What is the Enneagram answer?
