Leaving It Better Than You Found It

When my wife and I bought our house back in April, one of my pet projects has been to renovate the room over our garage. I knew buying the house that it would be a lot of work, partly because the previous owner didn’t know what he was doing when finishing a room. I’ve spent the last week and half sanding, mudding, and fixing all the walls in this room. While sanding some dried mud tonight, I had a thought about how this experience was a lot like building software.
