2 weeks ago tomorrow

When it rains it pours. The maid discovered water pouring out from under the garage door when she arrived at noon 14 days ago. The main water line into the house had broken. When we finally got the water turned off, water had invaded the little girl's room, all the way to the closet. Everything on the floor soaked. Water had seeped up the wall board...and it was a MESS.
We moved all the bedroom stuff into other parts of the house; my room, the hallway, the living rooms and the bar (we never use).
We pulled up soaking wet carpet and discovered linoleum under that. The original flooring put in in 1974.
So instead of another patch of mismatched tile, I decided to tear up all the flooring in all three kids rooms, the hall, bath and laundry room. What a mess. Kids have been sleeping everywhere... Clothes are everywhere.
Today two out of three rooms were painted, but there's still tile to be laid, baseboard to be put up, and lots of stuff to be put away.
Oh how I hate construction...especially when you're trying to live in the area you're renovating!
