Here comes the rain again
We knew it would come sooner or later- our first day of rain after weeks of glorious sun. Actually, I don’t mind it. It gives us a break from watering the lawn plus I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything by working because the weather is drab outside anyway. Besides, rainy days make staying home feel cozier and the kids don’t mind doing their homework so much this way.
Speaking of cozy homes, my sister’s home renovations are fully underway. They’ve gutted the kitchen and part of the basement. They’re re-doing almost the entire house. It’s an exciting project for them, but with a baby on the way in a couple of months, their timeline could be tight. They’ve hired a contractor to do some of the work that they can’t do. Everything else, they’re doing themselves (or should I say, her husband is doing himself). The flooring is torn out, the walls are almost ready to be re-painted and the kitchen cabinets are torn out. She tells me that it’s becoming tiring having to live in the house while it’s being renovated. I’m sure it is. Imagine not having a kitchen for months! (That could be a blessing for someone who dislikes cooking, but for most people, it’s a huge inconvenience.) Or having to cram all of your necessities in a dusty livingroom while you tear down the walls around you. It’s stressful and tiring for sure!
The good news is that in a couple of months, they’ll have a brand new home they can truly call their own. And after having lived through the renovation, they’ll most definitely be able to get through anything together!
