It'll be great ... when it's done!

Our motto for this remodel is now "It'll be great... when it's done!" I guess we don't have any patience. I have to say the excitement has worn off (maybe it did a while ago), and we're both anxious to fast forward to it being done. Remodeling stress is threefold: all the life-or-death decisions that have to be made quickly (what color should the roof shingles be? replace the gutters? fur the wall? etc.), the financial pressure related to all these decisions, and the pressure of living in a temporary residence wondering whether you're going to have to move again. I guess living in a temporary house is stressful all by itself... it's not really your home.

I know the move-in day will come sooner than we think, and we're very lucky to have found a reasonably-priced place close to our house, but I still can't wait to move back home! I think I miss our shower the most. And our kitchen. And of course, I miss the view. Kurt misses his piano the most. I miss our bed, however, Kurt does not. I miss all the storage in our master bedroom (and all the clothes and shoes I left behind). Coda really doesn't have an opinion on the matter, however. She's got her chair here in the scraper, and a nice varmint-filled view, so she's probably happier here at the scraper. But really, she's probably happy anywhere as long as we're all together!
