Ugh, what a mess. I'm so sick of having dust in my house! We finally ordered a shed, so we'll be able to move the power tools out there and then I can finally clean up all the sawdust.

Have you posted photos of your house? I want to see!

I hope you get everything worked out soon!

We've been finishing our basement for seven years. It now has electricity, walls, and the frame for the bar.

Whatever you do, don't run out of money, lol!!!!!!

During other projects, yeah, the dust/difficulty has been very, very annoying. We went two weeks with no shower (I took baths, but h just went to my parent's or our friend's house to shower), and 5 days where we put the toilet on/took the toilet off every day. That was fun. We are effing FAST at replacing a toilet now, though.

We remodeled our first floor several years ago. The worst of it was the winter when we were living on plywood floors with a water drain pipe just hanging out in the middle of our living room (we knocked down a load-bearing wall to merge our "formal living room" with the casual one). DH was tearing down the brick fireplace and (TMI!!) when I blew my nose, black stuff came out.

I'm so happy to be done! You will be finished someday and it will be glorious!!

Aw, thanks! I totally fell off the blog bandwagon this spring. I need to update!
