This week has been an interesting....to say the least...experience to live with, especially for an OCD person like me. Popster was making fun of me cleaning the house like a mad woman on Mon, the day before they came, because I didn't want them to find "dust woobers" under the stove or refrigerator!
Anyway have I totally hated it? No! Just the times when I can't find something...which is about 10 times a day. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, probably because I planned ahead a little bit & having a microwave, toaster oven & coffee pot makes for a "livable" situation. The hard part is the dust that settles throughout the house but I clean it the best I can every night & the worst of that is almost over.
Also it is very tough on Molly as she loves to be where everyone else is & I have to barricade her either in the living room or downstairs. The weather isn't exactly cooperating as we had snow almost every day this past week & now it's bitter cold....they are predicting -12 deg for tonight....so she isn't able to be outside much.
I am finding it fun to watch the progress & I think they are used to the camera flash now! Jim was here for a few hours yesterday & again this morning to get the final coat of spackle on so hopefully tomorrow they will be able to paint. We went out today to get the paint, pendant lights....yes Popster now knows what they are..., & a microwave. The cabinets are being delivered tomorrow so there should be some progress showing by the end of this week.

This is my "doggie gate" to keep Molly downstairs!

Keep your eyes on the prize.
ReplyDeleteWell on earth did you find the expression, Dust Woobers"? I laughed so hard I nearly choked.
The dogs are lovely in the back of the truck but Miss M looks a wee bit perturbed at her new location. I'm surprised she hasn't figured out how to clear it in a single leap.
Just love them dogs
