[quote=Anonymous]I'm kind of like your husband.  This whole remodeling thing is such a modern American trend.  It doesn't make any real logical sense.  Why get rid of perfectly good functional cabinets?  It's so environmentally unsustainable.  And it is a pain in the butt.  And it does cost a lot of money.  I get it though - I look at the shiny glossies on the magazine cover and I get a little envious also.  But it's not enough to put me over.  Also I am at home more than my husband and would need to take the brunt of the stress of dealing with the contractors and having them in the house.  DH has always experienced it as something that just magically happens in the background, but I am the one who makes it all happen, and it's a pain.

He now wants to replace all our flooring.  He is pretty angry that we haven't gotten it done yet.  But, our floors aren't TERRIBLE.  Yes, they're worn and splintery in some spots.  But again, the thought of the cost, the time, and everything else, makes me not want to do it.[/quote]
