Home renovations suck barge bilge. We were lucky when we bought this place that the prior owner had spent 20 years renovating, and some of it is very nicely done; some of it was also obviously done by people who "saw him coming" as they say.
Like the guy who sold him an extensive and complicated gutter system for an old Victorian house that doesn't need gutters. We spent a lot of money having those ripped out and the damaged they caused to the facia boards under them repaired.
Or the guy who "fixed" the porch roof about 10 years ago. When our current contractor got it opened back up his first comment was "what the Hell?". Then the town building inspector wandered by (it's a very small town and City Hall is only a block up the street) and he said "Yeah, I knew you were going to have to repair that sometime. When [the former owner] had that work done, the contractor was in and out so quick that I never had a chance to look at it, and I knew there had to be a good reason he didn't want me looking at it!"
Now you've got me hungry for mac & cheese...
