This is sad to say but I've lived so much of my life with making everything "passing" or "just enough" that for me bringing everything up to snuff feels like a luxury.

So like whoever had this place before me half assed that plastic crap you line a shower with. It was coming off and the caulk job was god awful so bought a couple things of liquid nails, took it apart, checked for leaks, fixed a couple little things, glued shit back together and caulked it properly. Another thing is recently I had to go down the rabbit hole of having a well and holy crap the things that are wrong. I spent hours looking for and measuring the casing of the old well and finally found what I needed and wanted for like 100$.

It feels like a luxury to spend the time, effort, and money getting shit done right and knowing that I don't have to worry about it when I'm done.
