I’m in year two of planning to replace the windows, this month it’s been a dying relative and an upcoming dental surgery that’s put it off.

I get older, and the to-do list only grows in length. Condolences about your relative.

I figure it’s not a factor of my age, it’s a factor of the house’s age.
You see some old houses they say something like “This house was built in 1840 by Mister Plutis Astercock for his family” and they mean he knocked some trees over, sawed it into boards and nailed it together with his own hands. Just…right there in town. Down the street from the post office. Try that now and they’ll broadcast your evisceration on PBS. I’m a trained carpenter god dammit there are five families living in houses I built. No, now the only place you’re allowed to build your own house with your own hands is out in the cousinfucks.
