We are under construction again. The Patio Door is in the process of coming out and a new one installed. This is all covered by the Condo Board here and doesn't cost us anything. Well not really true , we do pay condo fee's but extra out of pocket no.
It is about 40 degree's in here at present with the door open and will only get worse as the day progress's as it is just above freezing out doors.
So the saws are buzzing and the hammers hammering. You can feel the vibration through the floor and with the ripping of the wood, We do feel sorry for the owners below us for the extra noise.
It is a real pleasant place to be in this day. NOT. The door is about 30 years old and broken to bits, so it is need of replacement. Good thing I am a squeaky wheel sometimes, in order to get something done.
Well, I am going to put another sweater on and get some antifreeze in me. Just heard one of the workmen complain that they forgot to bring something important with them. Not a good sign of things to come. LOL

Love that term Tarfers!
Can I borrow it sometime please?
Glad you're still doing the right thing by the home - can't stop now!
Does it ever stop ?
I hope the builders aren't charging you for the time that the spend getting the essential item that THEY'VE forgotten.
Scrobs- Yes, fill your boots.
EK- We are not being charged ourselves. Maybe the condo board. They forget 2 things important over the day. Door in only held in with a few screws. tomorrow permanently inn place.
I love doing home renovations... and seeing the before and after photos. Hope yours are coming along.
Oh home renovations are the worst! With all the dust everywhere i feel like i'm living in a warehouse. The worst is the cleaning-up at the end of each day!
The only thing that keeps me going is the thought of the end-results
Oh dear poor you. I can only bear home renovations in the summer when all the doors and windows can be thrown open without us freezing our butts off.
Hope you didn't really drink anti-freeze!
Chris- I will show some pics if you are interested.
Sabrina- you are right about all the dust and it just seems to fall no matter what you do.
RB- the antifreeze I was referring to was alcohol. lol
