Beautiful.  I believe you said you using Behr wall paint.  What color is the trim?  How do you feel about the difference between wall and trim?  Can you see difference from room to room because of light?  You might not be able to answer until all "in order".  I need to paint and conflicted.

@Twins Mom   Behr Weathered White. Trim not painted yet...will be Behr Ultra Pure White. Definite difference in a small bath where walls/ceilings (same color as walls)/ trim were tested and finished. Walls stand out as a warm greige.

@Shanus 

I understand where you're coming from.  You described your home "bunker" quite well. 

This dang "C-thing" is upsetting many people & it's dragging along.

 

Take solace in your painting to help you get your mind off it.  Enjoy your new creations to maybe decorate your home with.

 

Take care.

@Shanus My goodness.   You are almost out of this and have less to go than you have come.

 

I'm sure you will love everything for a long time and it will be beautiful for the holidays, my friend.I 😉💖

@Shanus  The company doing the work should never use customer bathrooms. They have a portable potty brought out to the house. When we had a lot of construction  done two years ago,  that is what they did.  It was part of the plan. 


@SeaMaiden   Definitely agree!  With any big job, construction companies usually provide a portable potty.  Using the customer "conveniences" is a big no for me.

Thanks, I needed that boost from my friends to keep sane. We asked the workers to use only the 2 bathrooms upstairs since we are never up there. Well, they did and both toilets are now out of order after 3 days. One has the flusher handle broken off and the other's not flushing at all (stuffed up). DH is burning mad and sending the plumber's bill to the construction company.

 

Thought I'd have the weekend to myself, but they're working tomorrow on the living room. When they get to my bedroom/bath, we'll move upstairs...assuming toilets are repaired by then. I'll be happy when I have my kitchen/sunroom back in a week or so. No issue if we were able to dine out, but there's only so much pizza you can eat. 

Molly is being boarded instead of just daycare. The place, well you saw the photo, is no where for a roaming beagle with a sharp nose. 

Will update next week. 🤪


The construction company should have put a Johnny-on-the-Spot on site. Thats sloppy on their part.
