Up, down, up, down, left, right, fire…

Upgrading your house is so much easier in the Kingdom of Loathing. None of this messing around with drywall and cement board. No inconveniently placed plumbing. Just grab a decorative fountain, a set of windchimes and the Feng-Shui for Big Dumb Idiots book, and tah-DAH!

That’ll make sense for about three people out there… Ah well.

For the rest of you, the bathroom remodeling is proceeding apace, but it’s looking like it won’t be ready in time for the Backyard Bru-ha-ha this weekend. I’m going to be putting in the bathtub tonight, but I can’t put the toilet in until the tiling is done for the floor and there’s just not enough time for the mortar and grout to dry between now and the start of the party.

Actually, it is kind of similar to a game in some respects. You have to do the steps in the right order, or the results are going to be all screwed up. You can’t put the tiles down until the tub is in place, and before you can place the tub, you need to finish the walls.

It’s all so time consuming. It’d be great if you could just type in a cheat code and jump to the part of the game where everything is set up and working… Unfortunately, the only thing close to a cheat code I can think of would involve a very expensive phone call to a contractor.
