Honestly, I’d take the 2am insulation debates over living with a kitchen layout that drives me nuts every single day.
Totally get where you’re coming from. Having a say in the materials and design just feels more “yours,” right? Did you end up going with spray foam or batt in the end? Curious if you noticed any difference in comfort or bills. Sometimes those late-night decisions actually pay off long-term... even if they’re stressful in the moment.
I get the appeal of being able to pick every last detail, but honestly, sometimes those 2am debates just wear people down. I’ve seen folks get so wrapped up in the minutiae that the process drags on for months longer than planned. Sure, you might end up with better insulation, but at what cost—your sanity? There’s something to be said for just accepting a few quirks and moving in, even if that kitchen layout isn’t perfect. Sometimes “good enough” really is good enough…
