Painless to me - I'm not DIY this time. This is the first indoor-contractor we have hired.

I'm renovating now. There is a toilet in my front yard, bare pipes hanging around in my bathroom and 2 inches of construction dust on every surface of the house. The last time my house was in that condition, I drew a smiley face in the construction dust on the stove and then my MIL showed up for a surprise visit. |

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I just talked to my Mom and told her how much dust there is in my house. I could feel her getting all nervous and upset about it. She asked if she should come down on Friday and help my cleaning lady dust. I said "Nah - if she doesn't do a good job, it will just get dusty again next week." My Mom pretty much had to get off the phone after that. I'm picturing her with her head between her knees and hyperventilating into a paper bag right now.

That's a perfect description of my mom whenever she has to even think about coming to our house. Our main bathroom has been out of commission since June of last year. Remodeled to the studs due to rot and mold. We're to the point of hanging trim and painting, but life keeps getting in the way. It'll probably be another month or two at least before it's done. A contractor would probably have what we have left done in 3-4 days at the most. |
