June 18, 201511 yr Yep renovating can be a pain - but keep the end in mind and remember planning is key - so make sure you buy the wine in bulk :-)
June 18, 201511 yr I feel your pain Nancy!! I have to say that you have lovely big and bright rooms to work with, which means that its going to look really great once finished (and so worth it!) How long do you think it will take in total? Look forward to seeing process pictures :)
June 18, 201511 yr Go smash some stuff, you'll feel better and part of it :) And buy wine, lots of wine!! (((Nancy)))
June 18, 201511 yr Author where is beer cooler? no beer = no work Where's the sledgehammer? That was my favorite part of "remodeling". A new mantra for the Bandit.... Not to worry, one refrigerator upstairs...one downstairs...plenty of beer! (and wine for me!) Sledgehammer has gotten plenty of use...lots of walls coming down!
June 18, 201511 yr Not to worry, one refrigerator upstairs...one downstairs...plenty of beer! (and wine for me!) Sledgehammer has gotten plenty of use...lots of walls coming down! There's nothing like opening a room up on your own.

June 19, 201511 yr action, I hope it will at least be mostly done in the next 4-6 weeks! This weekend they are cutting and placing new windows... Good luck - look forward to seeing the progress (although your Kitchen looked good before the work, so I imagine it will look excellent after!)
June 19, 201511 yr Author Good luck - look forward to seeing the progress (although your Kitchen looked good before the work, so I imagine it will look excellent after!) The kitchen looked okay, but there were two major issues....the cabinets were falling apart, and there was only one good prep place. So excited about the changes!
