It's the dust!

Yesterday the stress caught up with me. I mistakenly thought that this 'little' kitchen remodel would be just fine, no worries, everything would be easy. I started priming the doors in the kitchen and realized that it was a big pain in the butt. I have to do it in sections because I have to wait for portions to dry before I can continue. It's in a small space, so it's hard.

Bean came home and said I was taking it out on him. So he went and picked up the tile, then unloaded it all (very heavy boxes). I gave up on the priming. I am so sick of living with the dust and having no way to wash anything or cook anything and we've been eating lots of fast food and feeling run down. I went to take some towels out of the dryer that I'd previously turned on to dry at least 3 times- come to find out Bean had been doing the same thing, and they were never getting dry.

So we will be purchasing a new dryer (and probably washer) before this whole thing is done. Meanwhile the dirty clothes are starting to pile up.

All told, it has gone pretty smoothly. I tend to get lost in the details and that's what is stressing me out. I know that by the end of this weekend we will be so far along it won't matter. Today I got back to work on the priming and I feel much better about it. Now I understand why people say remodeling is stressful- it's the dust!
