The only comments I will be accepting are compliments or things that make my life easier. Keep all criticisms, judgements, and opinions to yourself.I was working on the remodeling project all weekend. We got a lot down this weekend, and there is an end in sight! (Though that is discounting the fact that I ran out of money and got so impatient and upset that I fired our contractor, and therefore cannot finish the kitchen part of the remodel.)
The things we are working on now are finishing details: installing the last light fixtures, cleaning and sanding the windows (so I can paint them once it gets nicer out and I can leave them open long enough to dry), getting outlet and light switch covers, and painting the unfinished doors and molding. But its still a load of work, and there is nothing harder to clean than super fine sanding dust that gets everywhere.
There are so many things not quite right about the project which is one of the biggest reasons we fired our contractor. What it came down to was: I got what I paid for. And I am well aware of the numerous corners I had to cut because we just couldn't afford to do anything else. So when a string of people comes to visit and all of them want to interject their comments and opinions about the remodel, I can't handle it! I don't need to hear any more judgement about my choices or work or anything! I'm just trying to live both with the compromises I had to make and the crappy work the contractor did, and get things finished enough that we can unpack the storage pod and move down there.
So I'm going make this sign and post it at the bottom of the stairs and make sure everyone reads it before they come find me scooting across the floor, sweeping dust with my butt, and running painting tape along the molding.
