[quote=Anonymous]I would go to counseling to see if you can get past this together. What is at the root if his hesitation? Is it living through it? If so consider a temp rental and using a company this will deliver within framework. If it’s money then go through accounts/compare to transaction costa of selling/buying. If it’s that he doesn’t care and you do then get to counseling for deeper issues.

Facelifts can help if that’s all that’s needed but sometimes it’s throwing good money after bad. 10 years ago My mom (who did not consult me even though I’ve designed/overseen 4 kitchen remodels) replaced her counters, backsplash, lighting, floor but didn’t want to replace her 40 year old dated cabinets in poor shape or redo the counters a bit to accommodate a wider fridge (she has a tiny 30” wide frig) because she thought it would be a hassle (still took them 10 weeks because they came when they felt like it).  . She just repainted them. They have dated arches,  interiors are gross/dirty, old rickety drawers that squeak, years of grime,, 30” height with a large gap to ceiling, , the paint wore off in 2 years and the painful part is that she spent 40k on the rest of the refresh ; another 25 k and she could have had a gorgeous functional  kitchen. Now we are trying to rent her home and will probably have to redo the kitchen but it paint me to tear out perfectly decent counters and backsplash etc. [/quote]
