Doing anything

[kitchenSink5]

How does anyone get anything done in their homes without it snowballing into doing a million things and then ultimately ending up not doing anything at all.

Today, for example, I thought about changing the locks on my front door (something that deffo needs done 4 years after buying!) but then I'm buying a whole new front door. In 4 years, I'll still be thinking about getting the locks changed.

Am I the only one?

Nope. Jobs do snowball. On another thread I mentioned that we had had a bay window replaced. It's very nice, and very well fitted.
But.
That's given me several more jobs. Re-roughcasting the outside round the windows. Stripping plaster and woodwork off the inside walls round the window. All to allow the window to fit in properly to the bricks, because the previous window didn't fit right and everything had been bodged round it. Then add stripping the wood surround off the top of the bay, stripping off the window ledge (doesn't fit new window) remortaring the top layer of bricks under the sill which were loose. Still to do, paint roughcast when fully dry, strip rest of plaster under bay back to brick, get plasterer in to do internal walls and plaster under bay, make new sill including fittting special edge for which I'll have to drive specially to a town some distance away, fit, paint, make new wood upper surround, fit, paint, sort out new curtail rail, which will take some doing as there will be several angles in it including two reverse angles. Fit rail. Make new set of curtains. Paint new plaster. If I counted right, that's 17 jobs for me, all from the initial one job for the window fitters.😬😆

But impressed you have have actually had the window replaced...that snowball has started rolling.

Although it is also amazing how much you tolerate in terms of unfinished jobs.
