We are in the middle of a three thousand dollar house project (budgeted and planned for) that has rapidly more than doubled (and I fear is near tripling) that price. Yippee for dry-rot. Yippee for more dry-rot. Yippee for contractors (actually, we really love our contractor). Yippee for brand-new carpet that falls apart in your hands. Yippee for delay after delay. Yippee for holes in the walls. Yippee for having to repaint the exterior of our home. Yippee for sleeping in the living room. Yippee having one more week to go (praying like crazy it is JUST one more week). Yippee to be eight months pregnant through all of this.
Actually the good part is the computer is in the living room - the same room as the couch. I sat on the couch and watched two whole movies today. Pure indulgence. (We do not have a television. Movie viewing via computer is our sole form or digital-visual entertainment.) Really I am okay. I just lack the sense of humor to post actual pictures and go into the details of this whole mess. Maybe later . . . after my movie is over. ;>

I was going to call to find out how things were going. Mom gave an update on Saturday. Sounds like your right in the thick of things. Ugh! Are you getting a refund on the carpet? Or an exchange? Seems like that should be under warranty or something...
So sorry it's been an ordeal, eventually it will be done and it will look beautiful, just like all your projects do.
HUH??? What is going on?? Expect a phone call from your visiting teacher tomorrow!! Hang in there...
Holy cow! That does sound like a nightmare! I am excited to see the finished project but what exactly have you been changing?
The only thing we originally planned to change was the carpet in the bedrooms and office. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? Dah!
I'm SOOOOOOO sorry it has turned out to be such a nightmare. The husband here disavows all knowledge of any holes in the wall or any knowledge of dry rot.
Call me if you need anything!!! Love you!
