    Fixer uppers are better the less you give a shit. For example mine i will be sealing the basement and redoing the bathroom. Aside from that i don’t give a fuck about the dated walls and floors. I don’t care about the kitchen cabinets or the stains on the counter top.

      Give less shit, and give more time. Fix the absolutely major things now, and do something smaller every year. Unless you’re planning to flip the thing, you have time.

      Mine was the look under the siding and find shitloads of water damage. Don’t tell the county how many studs I replaced.

      Add that to the horrible repairs done prior and I’ve been working constantly to get it to “not giving a shit” levels of OK. Sucks a bit, but I love our home now. Landscaping isn’t done yet though.
