Twice as much

Hi there, Retirement Wives!! I have been ‘off the grid’ for the past few months getting through a home remodel project that began last July- expanding one of the bedrooms, and remodeling the Master and Guest baths. Is there a Murphy’s Law of home remodeling?

If not, here is my version: Twice as much/Twice as long!

Buddy and I are opposites on many things and home style/décor is another thing to add to that list. No surprise there! I have to say that our communication and decision making was not really the issue during this particular project… it was the physical chaos as a result of breaking down walls, putting up new walls, demolishing flooring and tile and all the ‘construction dust’ that goes along with it.

And then there is the scheduling and ‘no shows’ of workers, materials that are back ordered or no longer available, and… the cost!

Oh, yes…Twice as much/Twice as long!

How many of you have experienced the frustrations and challenges of remodeling your home? And the biggest accomplishment is staying married through it all!!

A little humor goes a long way so I have included a little contractor television nostalgia for you all to enjoy…Tim the Tool Man
