Money pits!! :D
And I have just given up on converting the stable into an apartment. It will be a storage and workshop until next summer.
There is always the desire to get things done faster, but sometimes it makes more sense just to wait a bit, live a bit, and see if the plan still holds over time.
But yeah, no beach time for us this summer eather, although we may go to some of the many river beaches around here.
As long as you spend some time with family, not working. It might not be where or as much as you want, but some is better than none.
