“If The Aggie House Walls Could Talk…”
(They would and they’d talk smack.)
“Well, well, well… look who showed up with a hammer they’re not totally qualified to use. It’s you again — the enthusiastic human who thinks YouTube University is a trade school.
I’ve survived 80 years in what’s left of this pecan orchard… tornados, squirrels, college kids from A-State, urban sprawl… and now this is what threatens me: a woman named “Karen” armed with optimism, iced coffee, and a questionable tape measure.
You keep saying you’re going to ‘restore my charm.’
Sweetheart, can we start with not ripping out my wiring like it’s spaghetti?
I see you over there saying things like,
‘This’ll be an easy project!’
And then I watch you disappear for three hours to Google whether green poplar was a bad idea in 1940.
You talk to me like I’m haunted.
I’m not haunted — I’m tired.
My knees (aka floor joists) hurt. My bones (studs) ache. My insides are filled with dust, old nails, and lumber that was born when Roosevelt was still warming his coffee.
But I’ll give you credit… every time you peel back something, you say ‘Awwww, look at this craftsmanship!’ like you just discovered Atlantis.
Ma’am… it’s a 1940s farm house. I’ve BEEN here.
You keep telling people you’re gonna make me a B&B.
Honey, right now my personality is more B&B: Broken & Barely-standing.
And yet… every time you swing that hammer, curse under your breath, trip over a loose board, or celebrate leveling something ‘almost perfectly,’ I gotta admit…
I kind of like you.
Because even though you roast me, and I roast you, you’re the first person in decades who actually cares if my porch lights work.
So go on.
Renovate me.
Transform me.
Just… maybe stop using me as your emotional support demolition project.
Sincerely,
The Aggie House…Who Saw You Struggle For 2 Days To Assemble a Bed and is Still Laughing.
