My very first comment, thanks! I friended you because I loved your SGA fic - seriously, good job! Are you writing anything at the moment?
I know what you mean about renovations that spiral insanely. When we bought our house, we thought we'd spend 6 weeks decorating it and sprucing it up a bit. In the end, we spent 5 *months* rewiring, replumbing, replastering, damp proofing, ripping out the kitchen and bathroom, taking down two walls... I know what you mean about the mess - there's something utterly depressing about having to put steel soled boots on in the middle of the night just to get from your room to the bathroom.
Your house is 150 years old? Isn't that pretty much as old as they come in the states? That sounds lovely. Last year I replastered my aunt's 400 year old field stone cottage - isn't it fun when there isn't a single right angle anywhere in the entire place...?
Good luck with your renovations, and keep those awesome John/Rodney fics coming!
