Hang in there:)

How did you almost fry the electrician?

He turned off a few breakers, I turned them on (face-palm). I had no idea he had them off or that he was coming back. Was trying to get power to another room in my house. He didn't check to make sure breakers were still off.

I am homeschooling 4 kids during our remodel. It's been interesting to say the least. 4 weeks in so far. Hopefully the cabinets go up Monday! It will all be worth it in the end.

I feel your pain. We have a small house and are doing a kitchen / dining room remodel. We are four weeks in and the drywall just went up. I'm starting to lose my mind over the dirt. We are managing surprisingly well with the makeshift kitchen in the office and with more than half of our living space ( not counting our bedrooms) gone. But the dirt! They hung sheeting and it's working great in the dining room where they hung it and no one bothers it, but the one in the hallway isn't as lucky. We have to go through it sometimes so it's not doing as great of a job. And the basement! We have a finished basement and my brand new laundry room is right under the kitchen. They had to take down some of the ceiling tiles to get to the electric, so now dirt from the ceiling is all over my new washer and dryer. THEN my daughter was home from school on Friday as working in the art room, adjacent to the laundry room, and a big chunk of ceiling fell rough next to her! Luckily not on her, but it did fall on my drying rack that was covered with my nice sweaters that I baby. I am dying to go clean up but it seems pointless since more dirt will just keep falling until they put the ceiling back. As for the rest of the house, I've been keeping up mostly, but this weekend I thought, why bother dusting and mopping because they are going to be sanding drywall Monday. So I'm just trying to ignore it, which isn't easy. I figure when they finish the sanding I'll clean, even if it's a weeknight. Sorry, that was long, but I needed to vent too! ;)

And yes the sweaters thing was kinda my own fault, I should have put them in another room.

Yes, the dust is another thing ! Living in this back room is avoiding that powdery drywall stuff, but I have walk thru it to get to garage. I laid down the old curtains to have something to walk on. That and some carpet runners. Now tho, they are just as filthy as the bare floors. I also have to decide on appliances. I don't know when I should actually order them. I don't think they'll hold them for weeks. I don't know where I should buy from either.

We bought our appliances on black Friday and they held them until the end of the year. I had to get them delivered before the end of the year in order to send in rebates. We have them in the dining room on the clean side of the plastic. It's our staging room if you will. I have all my appliances, my sink, my flooring, lights, etc. Piled up in there. I wanted to make sure I have everything when he needs it so I don't hold up the timeline
