As I write this, I’m literally WOOP WOOOOP’ing because we finally put in a new doorway between our kitchen and dining room. If you remember, I wrote about that horrible wall in one of the first issues of Tincan, as some sort of stand-in for the tension that so many projects create: wanting everything figured out from the start versus just getting going and trusting it will work itself out. That doorway project sat on our list for years. Low priority, big impact. But now, instead of taking an absurd number of 90-degree turns to get food to the table, you can walk in a reasonably straight line. Friends call it “the expressway.” My favorite reaction is still: “Oh, I thought it was always like this.” Every time, I’m giddy.
