Monday Evening Open Thread

 

So everyone seems to be in the middle of spring cleaning or some other form of urban renewal (I'm looking at you, spaced99, and your fancy new bathroom).  I am paralyzed at how much needs doing here at Casa Finch.  True, the rug is gone and the moth infestation is at an end, but so much else is in a state of disrepair.  The worst is the floor.  The hardwood dates from the 1930s and I doubt they put down the highest quality back then, and 90 years of constant tenancy has left it with gouges, scrapes, and dents.  When I took up the rug I found two large dark stains that date from Boswell's last days, plus the stubborn remnants of carpet tape that will have me on the floor, scraping at ancient adhesive with a butter knife.  I don't know what to do about the stains, or about the loose board in the hall.  If I could have one wish to fix up Casa Finch it would be to replace all my battered hardwood with luxury vinyl throughout.  Then I would get a puppy.

What one thing would you like to fix about where you live?  Just one thing.  Prioritize.  And let me know in the comments.
