My bathtub is still sitting upstairs in its uncaulked glory. My husband lost his momentum about two years ago to fix it. Like my loving spouse, rudimentarian has also delayed starting on his kitchen project … a 10 year delay.
Yes, over a decade after I removed the doors, the cabinets were still hanging up, and the same flickering lights were still in place overhead. Lacking confidence in my ability to make a more meaningful repair without screwing something up, I’d grown accustomed to looking at the doorless cabinets and lost all my will to fix them.
From this, I learned that home improvements have a kind of momentum: fixing something leads to other ideas, and builds the confidence to try new things.
I’m not sure if a lack of confidence is to blame for my own bathtub. I think it’s more of a case of husband having too many other projects going on right now. Will keep you posted!
