Good lucky guess

My general philosophy for these things is simple: "if it needs a laugh track, it isn't funny".

I've never had much of a reason to believe that Saturday Night Live didn't have its live audience provide the "laugh track".
But then, it's been decades SNL has had anything genuinely funny either.

It started with some nice software upgrades.
Had my laptop, monitor, etc. on the kitchen table for years, while my home office remained an unused junk storage.
Cleared out the junk and moved my laptop to my office so my girlfriend and I could sit at the dinner table.
Also tidied up the entire attic and my drums are now set up and functional for the first time in almost ten years!
Found my old PS2, ordered a TULIP to HDMI converter, a HDMI switch, and connected my NES Mini, SNES Mini and PS2, together with my PS5, to the TV.
The NES and SNES Mini's had been laying around, unplugged, for years, because I lacked HDMI cables and inputs (which the switch fixed).
Also tidied up the place so my coffee table doesn't have controllers and headsets laying around anymore.
In terms of hardware, I got airco in my living room, bedroom and office.
In two weeks my thermostats (that haven't been working for years now) will get replaced.
And I'm waiting for a quote for sunscreens (working on daylight, and can be neatly placed inside the window frames.
They'll fix the indoor painting as well.
Outdoor will be done next year since all painters have long waiting queues.
I also had to replace my locks and keys because it was apparently very difficult and pricey to had an extra key made 
The gate lock had been broken for years, so I replaced everything with one key and they all work smoothly again.
It almost feels like a new home
Very happy with the changes

I can double that. I did have to clear stuff out a couple of times (new garage roof, and house extension), but everything seemed to find its way back in.

I feel your pain. Two years later I am still making repairs to my house due to the damage caused by Hurricane IDA. The Insurance company screwed me, grossly underpaid my claim and then went bankrupt.
I have had to pay for the repairs myself. New Roof, new sheetrock in the interior from the roof leaks. I had a hole about 3 feet in diameter in my living room, and 5 or 6 smaller leaks through the rest of the house. Then there are the twisted and ruined wood floors, two ruined Oriental rugs (reproductions) that need serious specialty cleaning. Two exterior doors.
Sheetrock dust all over the furniture which SWMBO has me cleaning right now and moving it back where it was.

Man, that's rough. Buyer beware. I guess it's not like a bank, where your deposits are insured by the gov't.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Ouch, that really sucks.

Not much pain here, just decided it was time for some cleaning up and some upgrades.
My changes are out of luxury, yours are out of need
Good luck with the repairs!

Sounds like you've had years of accumulating clutter and letting things fall into disrepair (as have I) and have suddenly decided to turn things around.
What prompted the change?

That's a bit dramatic.
I cleared the dinner table because I'm now using it with my girlfriend which prompted me to tidy the office.
I cleared the attic because the airco installation people had to be there.
On the attic I found my PlayStation 2 which made me rethink my console setup.
The airco and sunscreens are just due to the warm summers we've had recently and the cash I have in the bank.
And while I was at it I decided to have the thermostats fixed.
Also because one of them is of the office which I haven't been using up to now.

Myself I would have decided that was the highest priority.
