Defenestration is not an option
20 months into the remodel and again the new window is leaking and the sheetrock, again, had to be ripped out around the window and again, the glazer had to be called, and again, the painting had to cease, and again the electrician is a no show (2nd day), the carpenters to replace the carpenter on vacay in Michigan are no shows (2nd day), the remeasuring of the cabinet that has to be shored up to accommodate the weight of the slab now put off till the 4th, the painter is surly, the tile setter is grouchy because he has to redo the tile he did with a new adhesive.
A friend IMs cheerfully “so when are you moving in?”
