If you would have asked me last week, I would have told you that there are two phrases that instantly raise my blood pressure- Home Depot & Home brew. Well now I have one more… Home Improvement.
I think I’ve mentioned (aka complained) about the fact that we are doing a renovation to our lower level and have a strict timeline with visitors coming. What was supposed to be a quick and easy project seems to be dragging on and of course we’re way over budget; however, when we’re done we will have an additional room, defined storage area and mudroom.
Originally we were going to do a lot of the work
ourselves. Really that means that Joe
does the work and I take care of the kids. Luckily we both realized after a
week or so that this plan sucks and we are now hiring people to do most of the
work, hence the over budget part.
So, if I’m a little more cranky it’s because I haven’t had
lights in my kitchen and laundry room for the past 2 days, I’ve spent way too
much time alone with two kids (including a 4 hour trip to a birthday party) and
our house is a wreck.
This is how far along we are:
This used to be my kids playroom:
They don't seem to mind too much:
Our goal is to finished by May 19th so we'll see. The only good news is I have not heard the word "brew" for weeks.
Soooo cute!
