I don't remember which American author who wrote it, it was a short story I had to read as a student, and the quote is not verbatim, but when older couples have nothing more to talk about, they start making changes to the house.

There is probably some truth to that. When my step-dad was retired, and with only 10 percent eye-sight, he was always "fixing" something. It may also have to do with feeling you still have some mastery of an ever-changing world. I am getting there. Slowly.

I was gonna say...the house ages (sometimes not well) too.

There can be exceptions...I have an aunt/uncle that built their house in the 80's, and it is in vintage perfect condition (granted, no kids and she is a nut about cleanliness/maintenance).

For my parents, it is finally having the time and money to do so and also making things more accessible as they get less mobile due to age.

Getting the place done up before I get so old that I can no longer tolerate having workmen in the house

Not quite as much gold as some though, and there will be no equivalent of the Arse de Trumph.

What about a vagina wall, though (RIP Monkeybutt, PBUH).

No space for a vagina wall
