at least we have a pot to pee in

Dust has been working on the bathroom for almost two weeks now. Our house has been in disarray. We have been brushing our teeth at the kitchen sink. That is where our toothbrushes and toothpaste live now. Dust shaves in the shower. So his shave gel, mirror, and razor have been on the tub. We had emptied the medicine cabinet and vanity drawers into a box that had been in the office. We would dig through the box to find the item we needed. Last Saturday, Dust hung our new cabinet on the wall. So, it was nice to organize our stuff into that. Our upstairs toilet has been sitting in the area above the stairs by the door to the garage. I am thankful though, that we have a 2nd toilet in the basement. It has been cold to go down in the basement to use it. Sitting on the cold toilet seat is sure to wake you up though!

I really don't want to complain. I know that soon enough we are going to have a nice bathroom to use upstairs. I don't like the inbetween stages though. I have had some interesting living conditions in my life. I lived in a farmhouse in elementary school. My brother and I shared a room for awhile and a closet. In sixth grade, we made the upstairs attic room my bedroom. It was too cold to sleep in during the winter, so I slept on the living room couch. We had a wood stove for heat. In the summer, we spent most of the time in my parents bedroom because that is where the only air conditioner for the house was. I feel really blessed for the house that we have now. I feel ashamed for not being content with it sometimes.

I don't like the transition time either. I think I'm a little obessive like that. That's one reason why I don't mind hiring professionals. They usually get it done quicker.

I am pushy about getting things done because I can't stand the "between" stages. It's such a bummer. But as you said, at least you have a toilet down stairs! I'm sure when it's done it will look great and you'll be glad you made the changes.

It sounds like a good project - and you'll enjoy it all the more for the process no doubt. Put up a picture when its done!

I hear you on contentment - that's been something I've been reflecting on a lot lately. Not necessarily conquering it though!

I can relate about having alot more now than growing up. Growing up, we had very little money, very little luxuries. BB and I live extravagantly by my standards, but not by his. If it was up to me, I would always do things ourselves, not pay someone.

In the span of time this will seem like a quick little project.
