Some old houses are falling apart. Others have bizarre layouts that are not helpful. Some people prefer a galley kitchen, and others must take down the bar to have an open kitchen/living. I get it, there are great reasons to upgrade and change things up.
But am I the only one who really doesn't care? If there isn't some awful drywall gap behind the cabinets that is responsible for a roach infestation, or leaky pipes making mold, I don't get why people bother. Aint nothing wrong with a kitchen has that 80s faux wood laminate counters. And at some point it becomes so old, like 70s avocado green tile, that it becomes rad vintage. Same with bathrooms. Sometimes the grout is not salvageable and the toilet is beyond hope and its just time to rip everything out. But sometimes its just sort of dated, but the water is hot and the shitter uses 2.4 imperial gallons of fuck you per flush.
Don't get me wrong, I like new stuff okay. I just see the remodeling bills that some folks seem happy to eat, and think I'd much rather have another $25k cash sitting around for something else.
