When you go through a renovation, you have good days and bad days; sometimes you give yourself a pat on the back and sometimes you curse yourself and everyone around you.... let's say today was not one of those good days.
We hired a mover to help us move everything out of the basement today so the contractors could start the work in the basement on Monday. We got to the house an hour before the mover to plan ahead and do some cleaning. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust of course. All of our small appliances that were in the closet, were covered with so much dust that I could not figure out if they were stainless steel or black! Today was not the official "dusting " day but there was no point transferring all that dust upstairs so I took out a roll of paper towel and got busy.
To cut the long story short, it took about 4 hours to empty the basement and now the rest of the house looks as if a bomb has hit the place. The sad part is that we have at least one more move ahead of us.
Let me give you a piece of advice , if you ever want to renovate your house, make sure you not only rent a place to stay during the project but move all your belongings out of the house and store it somewhere else. Covering furniture with plastic does not help and constantly moving things around the house is a waste of time and energy. I have a feeling that we will have to throw out a lot of our stuff once this is all set and done.... did I mention that today was not a good day?!
P.S. every inch of my body aches! 🤕
