LOL....I feel your pain dude. There is a crew at my house this very second installing new vinyl siding on our house. Thank God I got my new bike before my wife got this fabulous idea in her head.

Was no problem for her to spend almost $6000 on siding, but I'm guessing if we would have done that first, there would be no bike for me. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with fixing up the old "shack", but we just have different priorities sometimes.
You prolly did the right thing, but it still sucks that you won't be getting your new bike right away. Maybe next year?
