And the mess goes on and on...



So we are a week away from our 20th anniversary trip to Mexico and the work is still going on in our house. Contractors around here just don't want to work everyday. If they'd work everyday they'd be done! ARGH!

Here's what it looks like now. (Yes. That black cement is my floor for now.)

The first picture is the hallway to my laundry room. There's a bathroom in this hall too without a floor now.

The second picture is the kitchen. As you can see the lovely island with granite counter top is gone. All my counter tops are gone. Appliances gone. Three hungry kids home for the summer all day and no pantry!

The last picture is the hallway leading to the study. The wood floor survived in the middle, but not after. The carpet in the study and the our bedroom was also ruined. And the mess goes on and on.

I wish they were finished. When I leave to go somewhere I love to have the house all in order and clean so when I come back I can continue that relaxed feeling for a few more hours. I don't think that's gonna happen.

Hey I'm gonna celebrate 20 years together with my wonderful husband no matter what. So when it gets done, it will be done. Until then I'm dreaming of beautiful beaches and cool drinks.

4th and demolition

On Tuesday work is going to start on my house. I'm not quite sure of the timeline, but the contractor tells me his goal is to get all the work done before we leave for our 20 anniversary trip to Mexico. I'm looking forward to the trip--not the rest of this s#17. I'm also excited about our 20 years together!
