Aww thanks

FIL ended up with not only shingles after it was all done, but a hernia as well. I feel so bad.
Once we do get moved (if the house ever sells), I think we're gonna spoil him a bit. He won't be able to enjoy it until March (when he has his hernia surgery) but that'll be enough time for us to plan some awesome stuff for him.
I just wish that others felt the same way about the renovations. The house hasn't sold yet and I'm starting to worry.Wife to DH since 10/31/2002!

Shingles and a hernia, that must have been awful. I'm sure he'll really appreciate a bit of spoiling after all that, even if it won't be for a wee while

My bro and SIL went through something similar after revamping a great deal of their house (at much cost and inconveince) in the hopes it would sell pretty quick once on the market, but it didn't. Very disheatening after all the effort. It did go in the end though and they were very pleased.
Good luck with the house
