The reality, though, is that construction – even for a relatively small job like this – is a dirty proposition.
Have I ever mentioned that I don’t like to clean? At all. Not even a bit.
If there’s one thing hubby and I don’t see eye-to-eye on, it’s cleaning. While I hate to clean, I do wield a duster and vacuum when
needed. It’s just that I’m more of a “clean up all the tiny messes so it
doesn’t turn into a huge job” kinda girl. Thank goodness hubby has taken on the job of chief bathroom cleaner, or we’d have split years ago! LOL (Yes, hubby – I’m complimenting you! Kudos! Big shout-out! Love you! Happy Anniversary! xo)
See, he’s what you’d call a Type A personality… and I’m not. If it were up to him (and we had an unlimited budget), we would have a cleaning service come in every week. Not gonna happen.
So for now, I’m in clean-up hell, dealing with constant dust in my house. If I don’t vacuum the floor every day, we end up with black feet!
Don’t get me wrong – I’ll be happy to have a proper entrance at the back, a powder room so we don’t have to run upstairs to go to the washroom, and cubbies for each family members’ stuff.
But for now, the construction mess is wearing thin on my nerves… and I’m counting down the days until the mayhem is over.
Have you ever lived through a renovation? I’d love to hear about your experience.
We've had to live through two pretty major "renovations" but not by choice – both due to floods! I feel your pain, sister!
I can only imagine what you had to go through… this is relatively small, but wow, what a mess! ๐
I've been there too and it's not fun. I was 9 months pregnant, it was a heat wave and there was dust everywhere, no AC. Blah ๐ I feel ya. But the end result makes it all worth it. Hang in there ๐
It's difficult to be patient through these things but wow that was really quite a mess.I ca empathize with you over it as I have had similar experiences.
