I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

White trash bullshit is just as bad as whatever ethinic paint colors you were imagining on the previous page.

Yes that was the implication of my humble admission

That's OK. I find HOAs to be condescending, racist holdovers from the red-line era, and the two families that we're attacking are both immigrant families who don't speak English as a first language. My inconsiderate ass will sleep just fine tonight.

Thats what you get for buying a home built in the past 50 years.

The quote came back higher than I expected, but we started talking about it and were coming around to the idea of biting the bullet and stretching the budget a bit to get it done once and for all.

Then I realized there was a second page to the PDF and page one was just the windows.

Currently talking myself into painting the house and watching DIY window replacement tutorials.

the price of windows is ridiculous. the worst part is that the windows don't increase the overall value of the home.
