I can certainly say I've been the recipient of many impulse remodel decisions.

Just one comment related to the use of flash in taking interior pictures. Not only can it be very effective if done correctly, it can really help the overall look of a room. Any external flash can be used with a little experimentation and creative rigging. You can even get relatively inexpensive slave flashes that will operate off of your point and shoot.
The key is you want to bounce the light, off of a ceiling, or a wall if they are white. If not, I personally use an Omni Bounce set up. Which on the cheap can be duplicated with half of a white envelope and a rubber band.
Or aim the flash head up and use the back of a business card to bounce a little fill in the light. I think most of the "do not use flash" comments on here are directed at people using a point and shoot with no override options.
Depending on what kind of look you are going for and your willingness to experiment there are all kinds of ways to use flash for interior pictures, in my opinion. That being said, try to avoid hitting windows, mirrors et cetera with direct flash, unless you're into that kind of thing. Flash may not be needed or even wanted but in some situations when your available lighting isn't cutting it, it is always good to have options.

I have one of thes in my apartment in near working condition. It is part of an old intercom system. It is like the old phones that have a stationary part and the other part on a cord. The ear or voice piece would hang on the hook. Lifting it let's you anwer talk et cetara like a regular phone. I have some pictures of what it looks like if you are interested.
