It never ends. I want to get the inside done and live in the house for a while. Sitting on the fence about putting in a pool, or just doing pavers. My property isn't as big as the house I just sold which had a great backyard for the area. Springtime I will redo the landscaping.

I'd much rather breathe in the fumes of burning things. I need to feel the reflection of the flames in my pupils whilst I writhe my hands.

Hitting things with a hammer is much more satisfying. The size of the hammer depends on the severity of the issue.

I used to keep an 80 lb punching bag around for this exact thing. Helped a lot when going through the first divorce.

Woke up very angry. Trying not to take it out on anyone today...

I keep a wood maul and some nice logs handy. You can split quite a bit of firewood when you're angry. Turning that anger into productive energy.

did you get estimate for pool or pavers?

will pool increase your property taxes? permits?

It's usually pretty obvious which category someone falls into.

Aren't the vast majority of recent model year 5 and 7 series leases? It's been a while but I recall some horribly large percentile several years ago.

No, not yet. I'm holding off getting estimates until I know what I want to do. I'm sure my taxes will go up if I do anything. I think mine are just about $10K now. How bad are you getting hammered on the LI?

Have you ever had a pool? They can be a huge PIA, especially in climates where you have several months where you can't use it. They don't add any value to the house, because most people don't want one. Most insurance companies will jack up your premiums. You'll have to put a fence up, if there isn't already one, to meet code in most locales. I'd have one if I lived in the Southwest, like all the nice houses out there do, but never again in Minnesota. My cousin had one and it was great for the kids when they were little, but as soon as the last one graduated high school they filled it in.

Thats a lie straight from hell to doom all marriages. Both require happiness and one should not be contingent upon the other. Equal parts period.

Base not your joy upon the deeds of others.

This coming from the guy who wants to lay waste to everything in sight because of the actions of a female; so I'm not sure I'd even take my own advice at the moment.

I will say that even under the circumstances of both of my failed marriages; I was a happier person when I was married.

I had one in the house I just sold. My pool is my happy place. I get my raft and float and suck up some rays. I already have a fence. Not so much a pain in the ass, I just call the pool guy and he does everything.

Lups can you please share some words of wisdom for this lady??

Confession: While my wife's uncle was trimming some trees in my backyard, I sat in my beach chair in the sun and read Dune: House Atreides last weekend.

Hey, you never know, this might be the same pool guy and neither of them know it yet. He apparently does, after all, everything. Full service, if you will.

His name might be William. I sometimes wonder if Billup is still on the porsche forums. But then I never go over to check.

I applaud Lups for her DIY skills. MY idea of do it yourself is paying someone to do it for me.

Oh wait... Is there a Lups pool boy story I missed? I thought Uncle was just shaming me that Lups does everything herself.
