You squeeze them for stress relief...and then try to save the juice, in order to make spiked lemonade to put in your coffee mug at work (no one will notice). Well, not exactly, but you get the gist. This remodeling thing can really take it's toll...I'm about ready to become a renter again.
So this week we made some great discoveries that I thought I'd share with you in my "remodeling is the pits" segment...
That good idea we had to keep the ugly brown carpet in, to protect the hardwood from our painting...turns out the previous owners didn't care as much as we did!
This is our most recent form of communication...we graffiti our own walls :) Well, not exactly...just the fireplace, which turns out is all brick in case you wondered...thanks hun!
And then cause I've lost the will to care, I almost walked out of the house like this...But, I still think I could have worked it!

You're too funny Kate!
I didn't realize they made rollers that big ;)
You are TOO funny! OK, now put on a glamour shot, ok????? Stop hiding those gorgeous good looks.
Joni
I feel your pain on the renovation front. We were told there was wood underneath the marmoleum in the kitchen. Turns out the wood only went halfway across the room. So we have a delay while the mill is running a batch of wood to match the rest of the house. Good luck with everything! I would love to see more pictures. I hope it all turns out the way you want it.
LOL Hot! Just like your hairdo - it's worth it for the end result!
The rollers look adorable :) Good luck with renovations--I'm certain it will look fantastic when it's all completed!
{Had to resubmit the comment after the I noticed the typo!)
Good on you!!! :-) I think you still look pretty even with rollers & toothbrush!!! - do we get to see the "after" shot!
What gorgeous eyes you have. And ahem, I bet your teeth are very white:-)
Thanks Jennifer :) Yup...I guess I just had to get the biggest rollers they offered!

Same thing happened to us! Took up the carpet and paint all over the wood floors!!! Why do people do that????? LOVE the photo!!
Awh, thanks Maryam!!!

OMG, you too Ronda! What is with people...let's just paint on our hardwood and cover it up with carpet...cause that makes sense!
~Kate
LOL! Great post - at least you make the most of all the debacles you are facing and can laugh. You even look good in rollers!
Thanks Anne!!!
How funny! I was just trying to read your blog and my son saw your photo. He said "Stop looking at pictures of people brushing their teeth." Ok! I'll stop now, I'll come back later! This was funny!
Melissa
That's just too cute Melissa!

If I looked that good with toothbrush and rollers, I'd post that pic, too! :)
Thanks Mrs Blandings! My dear friend Joni gave me the "courage" to show my face...and I chose a funny one :)
