We Fought Over a Dartboard Cabinet
To the version of me who thought hanging a dartboard would be a fun, easy weekend project: I wish I could warn you. I wish I could tell you how many times you’d measure the wall, how you’d argue over whether regulation height actually matters, how you’d stand in the hallway at midnight, holding a stud finder like it’s a divining rod, hoping for a miracle.
I wish I could tell you that you’d pick a spot, then move it, then move it again, until the wall looked like Swiss cheese. That you’d snap at each other over a crooked cabinet door, or that you’d realize—somewhere between the third trip to the hardware store and the fourth lost screw—that this wasn’t about darts at all. It was about wanting something to feel finished, just once, in a house that never does.
