I have a friend who is opposed to doing anything that is temporary. He is like this because his father was forever doing “temporary” things that were never later done right.

The problem with this approach is things that could be made better get no attention until he has the time and money to “do it right”.

Lori and I are a couple of years into a five year (we hope!) home building effort. Along the way we have embraced the idea of “two-year temporary”. If something is not the final version but will be in place for a year or two, we make it functional and less than ugly. It’s better than a fast short term fix, but not as nice, or as expensive, or as much work, as what we want eventually.

Two-year temporary is a better choice than a patch job or doing nothing.
