My house. There has never been a point in time where there was not at least one room unusable due to ongoing renovation.

How do you keep having renovations? How do you even sustain that?

Bought a fixer-upper and my wife is a lot more aggressive about starting projects than she is about finishing them.

They might have bought a "project house" and went the DIY route. Especially big country house, etc. In France I knew folks that bought a super cheap "small" castle, and have been constantly renovating for years and years. For example when up keeping the windows, by the time they get to the last one they can already start over with the first one again.

Same. I bought a fixer upper and haven't moved in yet due to the very messy renovations I'm doing slowly on evenings and weekends after my full-time job. I'm almost to the point I can move in though.
