I’ve been going around all the places that I possibly could during lunch hour to check on tiles, facet, bathtub, toilet, kitchen sink, counter top, Aluminium window frame and getting quotes and idea from as many places as possible just so I’m sure what I am getting myself into – trouble!
Yes, I’m getting myself into trouble having to renovate the house without hubby physically here, without his feedback in real terms, as all we could do is communicate by email or phone everyday. Even though I’ve tried to explain what I’ve discovered and learnt, we still get into argument over budgeting, over ideas, over style, over the time spent on searching for all these things for the house. Fortunately he is coming home tomorrow, so he’ll be able to see it in real and we can (hopefully) really understand what each other was saying.
One thing relate to another, the more busy or occupy I get, the more my sons needed my attention and cuddle. The more they demand, the more frustrated I get. However, I’ve tried to remind myself that they needed me more than anything, and I need to be calm in front of them. Else everyone starts to get panic over nothing.
I think I’ve loose some weight due to all these, the worried, the attention and the argument with sleepless nights. It think diet pills will work just as the same. Anyhow I’m also happy that at least I have been learning new things everyday about renovation. About the different kitchen counter top that I can use and how different they are in terms of durability and cost. I’ve also learn that they are so many different sizes of floor tiles, wall tiles and the general size of an oven, stove, and sink. I just hope that we can do lot more when hubby is around and make things clear.
One thing for sure is for us to really calculate out the money that we needed on hand. But I think we are going to make it part by part and building of kitchen cabinet and tiles will be last since I don’t really have a date that we need to move it.
