Repair and Remain: How to do the slow, hard, good work of staying put by Kurt Armstrong

The image shows two individuals standing barefoot on a floor covered with newspapers. They are holding paintbrushes, suggesting they are engaged in a painting activity. The person on the left is wearing denim shorts and has paint splatters on their legs, while the person on the right is wearing ripped jeans, also with paint on them. Both individuals are holding paintbrushes, with the person on the left holding a brush with a white handle and the person on the right holding a brush with an orange handle. The floor is scattered with newspapers, and a paint roller is visible on the left side of the image. The background is a plain wall, and the overall scene suggests a casual, hands-on approach to home improvement.</p> <p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Let’s say time comes to gut and renovate your bathroom: I can help you with that—demolition, framing, reworking the plumbing, moving some electrical, installing some mould-resistant drywall, maybe some nice tile for the floor and some classic glazed ceramic three-by-six subway tile for the tub surround. Should take a month or two, depending on what all’s involved. And as for you, hey, for the sake of your wife and kids, I think you better quit the flurry of furtive late-night texts to the sexy young co-worker and cut back a bit on your recreational drinking because wine is a mocker, so goes the proverb, as if those Facebook posts of you at the bar last week weren’t proof enough.

Repair and remain. Work with what you’ve got. Sit still for a moment, take stock, make some changes. Big changes, if necessary.
