I replaced all the doors and windows in the whole house, including interior and exterior doors. However, the biggest part of the job was gutting the kitchen and replacing all the cabinets, installing all new appliances, and moving the location of each appliance. I had to rewire the dishwasher and move the wire in the basement, and I got the shock of my life. When that was done, all the flooring was replaced with tile, and like an idiot, I did not notice the cement was mastic for the wall tile, not the floor tile. I had to pull them all up two days later, clean them all, and retile the floor again.

About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to
Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat
to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital
porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,
daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has
the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep
appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that
only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay
honest, and to keep the conversation going.
