We have now entered the remodel phase.
It's as hellish as you imagine. I spent the weekend loading the majority of our worldly possessions into a giant box down on the street. Monday was the mad scramble to prep for the floor installers, who then failed to show up at the proper time.
Today the floor installers finally got to the problem child of the floor. There is a seam in the house where the previous remodel meets the original house. The remodel is about a 1/2" lower than the original house. Which is fine if you are doing carpet. Not so good if you are putting in hard wood floors.
Tomorrow I will be spending the day putting in 1/2" OSB sheets in two bedrooms and the hallway to fix the problem.
I'm also going to be building an additional two garage doors. I was hoping I could get away with just building two of the four and reusing two of the original doors. But no. Too much termite damage in those doors as well.
Good thing the painters are showing up on Wednesday to paint said doors, so, no rush.
I'm overeating to relieve the pain.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
