Why dat man take my floor?
I will have more about this in the weeks to come, of course. We still have one more room to pack up for the renovation, plus we need to dust our living area, which consists of the master bedroom and bathroom. Dusting will be a feat unto itself as we have crammed so much into this area, but the grit is pretty bad, despite our door having been sealed during most of the demolition. It has to get worse before it can get better, so we are living with the worse right now.
Oh, and I wasn't kidding about having hot dogs for Easter dinner - something that requires little-to-no prep and clean up is exactly what we need. That, some store-bought potato salad, and a Cadbury Creme Egg for dessert...it'll be an Easter dinner to remember!
Have a great weekend, and a Happy Easter!
Ugh...that renovation stuff is painful! but the end result is so worth it.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteHappy hot dog Easter! This reminds me of the year my dad and I went to a gas station (the ONLY thing open in town) on Christmas day to buy chicken noodle soup and sandwich supplies. I don't even remember why we had to do that, but my parents and I do look back on that Christmas fondly :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun family memory! I just realized I packed the grill tongs SOMEWHERE. I think we can quickly turn/remove the hot dogs with a plastic fork...stay tuned to see if we have melted plastic hot dogs, LOL!
DeleteThere is that point in renovations where it's too late to turn back, but then you think "Ugh, what did I get myself into!!" Construction dust is the worst.
ReplyDeleteThe best part is seeing the changes each day, though.
YES. And yesterday I saw a new 3-gang light switch in my kitchen, and the wiring ready for the under cabinet lights, and thought PROGRESS. Today ended up not being a quiet day; plumbers showed up and are installing the bathtub in the hall bathroom, so there's another sign of progress!
DeleteOh boy! This is going to be fun. I think I left several times during the worst parts of the renovation! I do remember one time being on my way home, and Jay calling and saying that my bed was not back in place yet. I think I just stopped somewhere and stayed overnight one more night! I can hardly wait to see all the changes!
ReplyDeleteI needed to be here this week as there were a lot of questions that I was able to readily answer, but oh man...the dust is BAD.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing the changes to your house.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Shelley to you and yours.
I am looking forward to seeing the changes too! :)
DeleteAre you replacing all your floors too?
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a nice Easter even if you are eating hot dogs!
Yes we are, which has caused a lot of the dust with getting all of the old flooring up. But wait, there will be more dust with drywall repair, woohoo!
DeleteSounds like the perfect Easter dinner to me!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG THE DUST!!! Gawd, it takes forever to clean up and you think you got it... then there is more dust there. Sigh. Totally worth it though. I can't wait to see pics and hear all about it. And hope all the fur babies have a chill weekend (and the humans too)!
The dust is so sticky, if that makes sense. Like no other dust I've experienced.
DeleteI'm sure this will be an Easter you remember. It's going to be worth every melted plastic fork.
ReplyDeleteLOL definitely!
