Reactions from Others

"You are moving out during construction, aren't you?" (Just about everyone with any experience in major remodeling asks us this first thing when they hear our renovation plans.)

OK, OK, we give up. Yes. We're moving out. We found a rental house just a mile away, so we can easily check in on our house. It was tempting to try to save money by camping out at home somehow. (We even considered literally camping in an RV since we have an RV parking spot.) But, with a son who'll be 2 in Feb. we realized it would probably make us all crazy. We hope to be able to move back in before all the finishing work is done.

Aside from the "moving out" question, the most common response is laughter, followed by horror stories. So far the only people who have been fairly positive about the idea are the people we're hiring. Hmmm. We're sure there will be stress involved, but we certainly hope this blog will not become just a chronicle of more horror stories.

Yeah! Another blog to read. Is OHM going to make any posts? I would love to hear about this project from his perspective.
