It's Saturday morning and the contractor is finishing putting up the trim in the last bedroom. The ceiling fan and light fixture are sitting in the living room waiting patiently to be next in line. The painters haven't shown up yet but they only have to do some touchup.
Two weeks of strangers in my home, making a lot of noise and mess, is coming to a close. Granted they have also made two old out of whack bedrooms look fantastic with hard wood floors and new walls and ceilings. I'll give them that but my nerves are stretched pretty thin. Glad I had this room to hide away from the sight but nothing to keep away the sound of hammers, compressors, electric saws of a multitude of shapes and sizes and the front door slamming every time they went out and in.
Now comes the task of going thru the garage and salvaging what needs to go in the rooms from "it's not going back in the house" stuff and maybe a trip to IKEA for a couple small things. The one bedroom had become a place to put stuff we wanted to keep but didn't know where to put it and that is going to stop. I hope.

Hang in there with the remodeling, it is almost over. You should have scheduled it for nicer days and sat outside reading a book, or go down to the Moose Club. You will have to send pictures of the finished product.
