surprising my dad with something like this would probably ruin our already awkward relationship, even if Chip and Joanna came and did the thing.



My sister thinks this is a really bad idea. And that was what finally validated my position to go forward with it.

Who actually owns the house? If it's dad's house and he hates that you decided to do this without his knowledge, is he ornery enough to banish you from the property? In my family, it would be considered extremely disrespectful and boundary-violating to do this without telling dad.

His resistance to renovation may have had more to do with the memories he could conjure up in the old space; an appreciation for being in the exact same space as people long deceased, and valuing thrift (using what still works) rather than wanting new for the sake of new.

Good luck...
