The kitchen renovations start tomorrow. I say kitchen, but really, it is the whole main floor. The project has spilled into every nook and cranny of the main level of the house. There was a certain amount of sprawl built in initially. We knew the wall between the kitchen and dining room was coming down. But after that? Talk about your snowball effect. We knew that codes, materials, and processes had changed since the house was completed in the early 1970's. Therefore, there was no surprise that one minor issue could impact quite a bit.
But I digress. I am worried about the impact of this kind of chaos on the family. It's not going to be easy. It is a major disruption in our routines. And our routines have not been going smoothly. Nothing out of the ordinary. I am sure families across the world are dealing with the battles of dinnertime, video games, showers, reading, homework, sports, and the works. On top of being GC for this project, Demi is throwing a baby shower and planning on hosting Easter again. Easter is the deadline for this project to be done. Every contact being used on this project knows that going in.
We are going to be relegated to the basement and the upstairs. The boys are going to have to adjust to limited space and new routines. Patience is going to be more than a virtue.
