It’s starting to get really, really old. I told the Crew Boss for painting that Thursday is the final day ever and that there are no more days for my kitchen. I had to tell them the same thing about Wednesday, the 31st, because all the painting was dragging out and I had to get furniture upstairs again. I was being driven mad.
I think that I also have to consider that July has been bizarre. I found on the 6th that my former sister-in-law was murdered. My Aunt died on the 27th; although, we knew May 3rd that given she wasn’t seeking treatment, that was a foregone conclusion.
Anyway, with these deaths, it makes living like this very difficult. This:


It’s like moving into a place that you can’t move into because there aren’t rooms that you can use. I have trouble cooking which is my daily therapy because I have to go downstairs to get skillets and the like. I also have dust and shards of paint everywhere.
Brookyln is coming over this morning to help me hang artwork in new and fresh places. She’s also going to give me feedback about arrangements. I haven’t had her over at my house in years.
That will definitely help. It’s like a barren environment here.

I told LA that she was a bad friend for not renting me a large airstream for the pets and I this month ;). I can’t wait for workers to not be at my house. I’m also excited for the end result and no longer living in a construction site.
Hang in there! (This is exactly why I have been putting off redoing my bathroom.)
A bathroom is minor. This work involves 1128-square feet! I also need my house back–especially my kitchen
Good luck
Thank you so much! Just getting some art hung yesterday has been helpful. With the exception of one piece jumping off the wall, scraping brand new paint, and shattering glass!
Ugh! Im sure it’ll be nice when it’s all over, but it’s never fun to live in a construction zone. The amount of dust and dirt must be awful.
Yes, and now the work is just putting things away, and letting things go.
Also, I have to paint the ceiling around the chandelier after taping it. I can’t have them back in house anymore
