Houses n such

Talking with my coworkers about house stuff and damn it’s expensive to have anything redone. I really want to learn more DIY skills but I’m always really nervous I’ll fuck up something catastrophically lol.

I also find dealing with contractors to be a little nervewracking. I’ve had less than amazing experiences with a few.

There’s only 3 rooms I very earnestly want to gut and redo, but they’re all difficult ones! I was thinking of maybe throwing an architect some money to come up with plans for the house... like having a professional inform the overall look and feel of the house would be really nice? Maybe even tell me how I can use the space better. But I am worried because I find it hard to speak up for myself and talk about what I want for a space to contractors/strangers?? I do have some kind of specific wants but yea. Hmm.

Like I really want to slap a half bath somewhere and leave the current bathroom for a big tub and shower combo for having a spa time.... ah well. I’ll think about it more I guess 🤔🤔
