Matt - I totally agree and I've got a million excuses as to why we haven't done it.

However, most if it hinges on the daily drama caused by Dbl A. A large chunk of my free time and energy is spent dealing w/ family issues caused by Dbl A. My BIL is an alcholic and constantly adds his fair share of drama as well (dissapears for days/weeks at a time). Between the family issues and the overwhelming number of house projects (garage included), I'm worn out and just plain exhausted.

I don't make a lot of money, so I can't afford to pay someone else to fix all of the things that have gone awry w/ my house (rotten floor joists, replace all plumbing, rewire the house, etc). I have to fit these projects in between the family dramas. My wife's only job is taking care of our kids and she does an amazing job at that. For that, I’m eternally grateful. What little free time I can squeak out, goes to the kids - everything else falls to the wayside. Sorry for going off topic, just needed to vent a little.
