Mr. Hitch and I have reached that point, though--we did that with this house when we bought it, 15 years ago, and now, we're like, NEVER AGAIN. Hell, I'm still messing with the landscaping and hardscape for the front porch, because I haven't been able to settle on what I want. (Although I'm finally sure I have it, for this fall. I was going to do this, this past winter, but you guys remember that this past winter wasn't so great for me)

We don't want a fixer upper, like the one we visited. EVERYTHING needed to be done. As I've said before, I think it's smarter to pay more and have to do less. With prices of supplies, long delivery times and having to pay more for the work There's a chance it isn't worth it. My sister is particular in how the kitchen has to look. And we both want a nice bathroom (having grown up without a proper one). I would love to have a shower without a shower curtain, so with a glass door or a big shower with no door and a glass divider. I realized I hate shower curtains; they always stick to your backside.
