The last time we painted the interior of our house, it was before we moved in, so I completely understand what you're saying. The disruption has been minimal, so far, as she disassembles one room at a time, paints it, then puts it back together.

The scam merchant in Arizona is called ClickCart so watch out. I suspect but do not know that they either tapped into or are in cahoots with a supposedly legit US merchant from whom I made an online purchase.

I had to cancel a card after a 2nd Netflix account appeared on it. Was easy enough. Good thing is recurring payments (autopays) still work. I think if the bank recognizes it as a legit charge it keeps happening and shows up in your statement the same.
Makes sense since they are not cancelling your account,, just issuing a new card number to it. Same as if you have multiple cards with their own numbers on one account.

I do all my own interior painting so it will never be a whole house at once. Generally one room or section at a time, over a weekend. So Friday night move stuff and prep, Saturday do the trim and ceiling, Sunday walls and clean up. Something like that. Or ceiling in the morning, walls afternoon on Saturday. Depends on my energy level! Not hard on a normal weekend for one room though I’ve done 2 bedrooms at the same time.

We also usually paint each room a different color. Just gets tricky when doing the halls and stairwells, those are one color and usually take longer. Just less stuff to move! And I hate stairwells.

We will eventually get around to painting the other rooms, but probably after our senior dogs cross the rainbow bridge, as we are likely to replace the carpet in those rooms as well.

Had to put a lot of bracing under the beadboard to make things even and makes the spans smaller.
How thin is the bead board? Even if it’s only 1/4 inch that should be enough unless you going to put heavy plants and nik-naks up there.

Awhile ago I asked for opinions on snow tires on modern RWD trucks because I was concerned that the big box stores would try to pressure me into buying four when IMO you really only need two. I got mixed opinions with one suggestion to just go to the indie guy and get what I wanted.
In the meantime I was listening to a local mechanic’s radio show and gave them a call on air. His conclusion was that there was no real concern with putting snows on the drive wheels and leaving the all seasons on the front.
So that’s what I’m doing. My indie guy will be slapping two snows on the rear wheels of the F-150 this week.

The beadboard is vinyl. It doesn't have a lot of lateral stiffness. Guessing an 1/8th or 3/16th thickness.
Yeah, I guess I left you hanging on that one. For me, it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If it is about trying to keep/get yourself moving, then putting the tires only on the drive wheels is the way to go. However, especially on RWD, this does nothing for steering and very little for braking, and that can be a big deal depending how often you see slick roads (along with where you drive).
Personally, I will always go with a set of four because I want my tires to offer predicable and versatile performance, and two imposes a lot of limitations.
The online order was almost $600, but when I went to pick it up, they found and applied a couple of coupons that knocked the price down to $334. Score!

With winter tires on the rear, that will be the case in every instance, except when snow is on the ground.
Good luck to you.

white semigloss baseboard and doors. Just like we do when we paint on our own.
at some point my wife might start making noise about painting some other color (probably the bedroom). But I will resist.

The other thing is that since the space is small, I might need all new appliances that fit the space better. One thing I learned today is that a “counter depth” refrigerator isn’t 24” as you might reasonably expect given the name, but usually more like 29”. In the words of Nancy Kerrigan, “Whyyyyyyyy???”

we have white cabinets with a navy blue Island. Looks really sharp. But I actually like a light wood tone. We did that in our bathrooms and the cabinets look really good. Much nicer than plain white. if we had to do it again I might push for that. Would lose, but would give it a try!

I'm a one person (and one pet) household... when that thing finally fails to refrigerate, I'm replacing it with one or two dorm room fridges.
We love all white kitchens. I don’t think I could ever live with anything else.
Having said that the gray in our park model was pretty sharp.

We painted our cabinets a couple of years ago. Light grey on top, dark grey on the bottom. We used a kit specific to cabinets, and they turned out pretty good.
Trim in the living room was painted this evening - baseboards and windowsills. A little darker than I'd like, but, again, I'm not the designer in the family. They do contrast nicely with the white (excuse me, "Snowbound") paint on the walls.

We also got a counter depth refrigerator back when we moved because of the small space, it’s been fabulous.

It's the same layout as our house.
Some of the same style houses, has a vaulted ceiling, have sold since we moved here but none of the real estate photo's show the tops of the cabinets.
This picture shows the lights in the upper cabinets.

Driving back from Indianapolis last night, I saw a white ford focus with a license plate that said “TURD”. i am surprised that it made it through the vetting process, but wonder if it was referring to the driver or the car??
As @stickguy noted, it's 4" of door and 1" of handle sticking out, or you couldn't open the door. Counter depth looks great. Also, all CD fridges are 35 3/4" wide, so it's easy to plan for. Not the biggest inside, but if you are a household of one, that shouldn't matter.

I wish I had the snow blower that @stickguy bought. Still snowing steadily here in Colorado. Lots of roads are closed to the east.
Wife and stepdaughter just left for the cooking studio. They have a class and three birthday parties scheduled today. Glad they have the Kia and not the MINI - more ground clearance.

Thankfully our garage is a little larger than the typical 20×20. I think it is about 24x24. A thorough purging and rearranging is on the list. I am able to park the Q5 and Arteon in the garage. Feel a bit guilty leaving the Passat outside. It got kicked out of the garage. #rude. A bit tight squeeze for my parking spot. Yes, that is the Halloween pumpkin.

the Fridgidaire counter depth inside is nice, but a little smaller than would be ideal at about 22 CF maybe. normal use is fine but when my wife cooks extra or just went shopping gets a bit jammed up. Mostly though we got the garage for the holidays. Probably a waste of money but that is all we do these days. New fence looks nice though, and really helps define a back yard! Just have to finish cleaning up the reclaimed space.
the LG we got (top freezer, white, glass shelves, hidden handle, would look fine inside) was only $540 at Lowes courtesy of the 10% off coupon they sent me, and it being on sale.
also, LG makes a counter depth fridge that they tout as having regular fridge capacity (maybe 26CF?) that looks really nice. probably expensive though.

I too love our 2+ car garage. The house across the street from us has a similar configuration and they have three cars parked in it - a Sorento, a Sportage and a Soul.
