Our house is in utter chaos. At least my garage is nice. The contractor started the work on the house today. Three of our rooms have big, black plastic containment walls partitioning off the window area. Each room is missing about a third of its square footage. The kids rooms are weirdly arranged, which they think is way cool, but it is awkward and well a huge sheet of plastic + young children just seems kinda wrong. The destruction of the walls and window removal starts tomorrow. Good times.
We also scheduled the closet organizer people to come and do the closet in our bedroom and put a built in desk in the room adjacent to our master bedroom. They are actually not supposed to come until next week which would be great except that we failed to realize that Ben is on call next weekend so he had to rip out the existing closets, spackle, primer and paint them- yesterday. I was up and down the stairs, moving furniture and rearranging all day yesterday. I would have slept soundly except that my left shoulder was aching so badly I wanted to cry. (I have an old rotator cuff injury from swimming) We get to live out of baskets and things hung up randomly throughout the house until next week. Last night we slept on the aerobed on the living room floor.
Yup, good times here.....
