I'm tired, PrepHole.
I'm so tired of renovating this place.
It's been 4 years of constant plastering, drilling, screwing, hammering and pulling.
I just want it to be over.
I bought this place for cheap as a concrete cube with some bullshit woodwork in it that needed to be stripped entirely and figured I could do the place up all by myself.
I've done about 100K worth of work myself but I'm so fricking DONE. I can't look at a drillbit without wanting to fricking hang myself.
Picrel is a rough plastering of a wall that was covered with old boards that weren't even aligned properly and were bent to all hell so I had to tear them all out with a crowbar since they were screwed in from the other end that was already boarded up. Plaster is where all the screws left holes.
Then entire drywall behind it is fricked up so I'll have to get someone in to plaster over everything.
I should have just hired a pro from the start.
Anybody ever bit off more than they can chew?
We have a tv show with people like you, all guys that wanted to diy their renovation but end up 2 years later on the edge of depression with no working faucet
Just get a pro in, drywaller, painter and have them do it. It’s a downward spiral that’s very hard to break, better cry now and spend some money than spend another year
Is it called "Mijn man is een klusser" by any chance?
Never thought I'd be one of those guys, frankly.
If I were married my wife probably would have left me by now.
Yea, didnt mean to sound derogatory. Most guys on it aren’t bad tradesmen but at some point they just get occupational burnout kind of symptoms from combining the renovation with their day job day after day, setbacks, and being emotionally invested.
Most actual house builders don’t even want to build there own house for that reason

My sample size is small, but every GC or builder I know built a wonderful house to live in. I suppose there are disreputable crooks who wouldn't want to live in the shit they build.
Just keep plugging away at it and don't get overwhelmed. Focus on one thing that needs done and do it. Then once that is done move onto the next task.
How do you eat a shit sandwich? One bite at a time.
what did you do for 4 years
“Hire a pro? I can watch a couple YouTube videos and do it myself for far cheaper” is the drug-free version of drug addiction. Denial and gargantuan levels of sunk-cost fallacy
I've never bitten off more than I can chew because I'm a boring c**t that never does anything. But good luck to you fellow kanker anon!
There are certain projects worth paying to have someone come in and complete while you bang prostitutes and get drunk on basement hooch or whatever the hell Dutch people do on days off. Drywall is one of those projects. Frick drywall, frick it up it's stupid gay AIDS-riddled butthole. I frickin hate drywall so much.
bruh, 6 guys can build a basic house in a week. what the frick is taking you 4 years to do? your entire picture could be fixed in a weekend if you committed to it.
Anymore pics anon? Also remember, every little thing you do will get you closer to the end goal. If you pull this off, think of all the years you'll save on working to pay off the mortgage israelite
