What am I doing? Trying to stay sane.
Tuesday we are going to be having the carpet in the house (except bedrooms) replaced with hardwood floors. That's the good news, but the detailed preparations are a mind boggling nightmare. We gave away our two gently used but very old couches so we had room for the stacks of flooring in the middle of the living room. Apparently, it has to sit in the house for several days to avoid warping. Next came the big job of boxing up everything from three hutches filled with breakables. The computer/TV room is a whole other nightmare, not to mention finding room in the two bedrooms for all this stuff. The job is suppose to take three days, so we have a room reserved at a nearby hotel to escape the turmoil and heat when needed, and we expect to sleep there. I'm trying to keep in mind this will all be worth it when we are back to a normal life with beautiful new (light ash color) floors. Then we get to unpack..ugh. Obviously I'll be absent for a while.
Has anyone else been through this?
