LMAO - your story is funny now because our kitchen is done.
We decided to renovate our kitchen last year. Started on Memorial Day weekend and ended in August. (Well, if you count the missing base board, we're still not done)
Gutted the place to studs and subfloor. Found out that window had leaked and had to replace the entire outside wall. (When it was 109 F in Sacramento, I had a tarp stapled to my house.) A 3-hour job to replace a window turned into a 2-week excursion.
Then we had a sewer leak and DH had to fit 2009 replacement parts to 1980s stuff. Fun ....and a yummy smell. Nothing fit, nothing matched. on and on and on...... but it turned out pretty (at least I think so)

When he got ready to install the garbage disposal, he found out that the new sink was too deep and the disposal too large and the parts wouldn't fit into the existing plumbing. That was the day I ended up balling like a baby, curled up in fetal position on the bathroom floor.
Yeah, those darling little do-it-yourself projects.
