Break from Construction?

Aaron bought our house in November 2009.  The first thing we did was knock down a wall.  We ripped wallpaper down in the kitchen and both bathrooms, then had those walls textured.  Every room in the house was painted.  Carpet was torn out of the entry way, family room, dining room, living room, and hallway.  Aaron, Sammy, and my dad put wood floors down in all those rooms.  We stained the cabinets in our bathroom and took off all the pulls.  Our bathroom was pretty much completely gutted.  Aaron and Reed attempted to put new tiles around the tub. When it didn't work, we hired some guys to do it for us.  Every room that has new flooring also has new 6 inch baseboards.  Basically, we've been living in construction, and we haven't even had the house for 2 years.  Our house looks great, and it has come a long way from day 1.  I was so excited that we were going to take a break from construction, at least for a little while.  We knew our next project would be new carpets in the 3 bedrooms.  But, we were happy to put it off for some time.  We just wanted to live in our house without working on something.  I have a list for the things I want to do in each room of our house, but I'm good with letting it sit for now.  Then, our front door kept sticking.  The guest bathroom door would not shut all the way.  If you were lucky enough to get it to close all the way, I couldn't guarantee that it was going to open back up.  The front door no longer opens.  I just tell people to walk around to the back.  We have foundation problems.  So, back to construction we go!  At least this time I don't have to do the work, especially in this heat.  I'll update on when our foundation has been repaired with some pictures.
