We only have one bathroom ( because we were stupid enough to tear apart the other two duh!!!!!). Dust !!!! my lungs must hate me by now. I’m a little bit of a neat freak ok big time beat freak and so I’m always cleaning up the dust and mess only to start over the next day! But I do love my house!!!! And now I’m decorating !!!!!!! This keeps me going still lots to do but it will be worth it in the end right???!!!!

We lived in the house for about half of it. You’d be surprised the things you can make in a microwave! Storage totes totally work as a sink for doing dishes.
We still have a few things we haven’t finished, but nobody probably notices except us.

We are in the midst of a complete gut master bath reno. Not quite the same scale as yours but almost as disruptive to normal life. So I feel you! Hang in there – you’re doing great!

We finished our basement, and our kids got like two decent meals during the 6 months it took. Hey, they’re fine now! I can’t imagine trying to blog about the process while doing it. You’re awesome and the merc is to die for. Can’t wait to see it all, but I’m fine if you feed your kids first. 🙂

Bought a 1906 Tudor that was down to the studs. For the last 2 months we camped out using port a pot, showers at the Y and a mattress on the floor. Everything takes 200 times longer than expected. The dust kills me, I vacuum and clean walls daily.. Can’t help it, keeps me sane. We might be done in a year ha!
