Everyone always asks if we are ready for another remodel. And at first I was all, hell yeah! Bring it baby. And now I'm thinking to myself that I might be slighty nuts. A coworker told me I was crazy this week and now I'm beginning to think that she was right. This time around will not be anything like the last.
Last time we hired a general contractor. We moved out of our house for 8 months. We had zero kids. We renovated an average sized home. Life was good. Easy Breezy. I was able to yell at the GC, the tile guys and carpenters when they screwed up.
This time? Yeah, this time I am the general contractor. We are moving into the house and renovating at the same time. WITH A 3 YEAR OLD. The tile guy? That would be my husband. He better not screw up.
In other news, last weekend we went to the Railroad Revival Tour Documentary screening at SXSW with our neighbors. Afterwards, Mumford & Sons and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros put on a show and it was SO GOOD. Then half the neighborhood decided to stay up until 3am on the front porch. I don't think my eye twitched all day!

Clearly the answer is more time on the front porch! I concur. PS, that show was FUN!
You can do it!!! How many other people have 2 kitchens while renovating a house? Just live on one floor at a time......
