What have you done?

A few months ago we decided that big changes were in order, you may have read about the bathroom renovation we undertook (or more correctly commissioned contractors to). Since that time we have been busy, adding walls, putting up new ceilings, rewiring, putting in new lights, painting, etc.
The work is slowly bringing the place to order, but there is still a fair amount of pain left to go through, for example paint needs to be applied, before everything is shiny and new again.
We have to add a new bathroom, upgrade the kitchen, both of which are jobs we need a contractor to complete. This is a big year of change, the house seems a mess right now, but it is, we think, worthwhile.
What changes have you been going through in your life?

Was your house damaged in a storm or did you just decide to update? I see more people doing that nowadays. That is one reason we live in an apartment, if any work is needed, our only job is calling maintenance Good luck with remodeling. .

@ModernDayWriter I can believe that and you can be sure the best people DON'T get the job.

Its good to be able to do renovation when you have the time and money etc. I can remember how much fun I had when I added an extension onto the home.

Old plaster walls - my parents old home had walls like that. Renovating that can be really messy. Once I have some cash I'm hoping to put running water in our camp. Hand pumping everything is getting a bit old.

But something is always changing in your life even if you aren't fixing things about the place.
