Your world is not o.k. at the moment, and cleaning up the white dust is extremely time consuming. One time I even had it on the hangers in the closets. Hope for you that it is over with soon.<br />Greetings,<br />SylviaFlickenstichlerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234604824763882898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-73890924985655866012016-04-04T08:50:34.931-07:002016-04-04T08:50:34.931-07:00Karen, oh my life has gotten very busy.

I see how the shape fits with your previous reveals, but I'd love to see something like that where the hexies are symmetrical all around, or something else where the hexies play a bit larger role.<br /><br />You have my sympathy with the reno woes. We gutted our kitchen and remodeled a few years ago, and that was a serious life disruption! Worth it, though. Now we are looking at doing the bathrooms, and I am really worried about the possibility of finding problems when we open up the walls.<br /><br />Hang in there -- it will be worth it when it's done!Judy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16104489530177728125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-47559252966335165142016-04-03T11:23:24.057-07:002016-04-03T11:23:24.057-07:00Very nice Karen - Here is hoping the remodeling is...Very nice Karen - Here is hoping the remodeling is over with soon!Chopin - A Passionate Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070576868549479492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-32790487247130676292016-04-03T03:55:11.535-07:002016-04-03T03:55:11.535-07:00I grew up with reno`s my parents were always renov...I grew up with reno`s my parents were always renovating so I do understand your post today.

You have my sympathy. We lived with builders dust, no kitchen and certainly no sewing space for the first 9 months we lived here.

Soooo good that you found out about those plumbing issues during your remodeling of the bathroom than after. <br />I have never been able to redo or remodel our small home but I have heard from everyone who has it takes so much longer than you ever thought it would and adding on an unexpected kitchen redo just adds more time and the chance to choose different sink, counters just be mindful of delaying building steps if your chose items that have a wait time or if you take extra time to decide on different components.<br />I think it is a hard balance of budget time and what compromises you can live with and be happy you are taking care of plumbing problems now colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979234789965049533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-31772897931238166212016-04-02T05:28:43.724-07:002016-04-02T05:28:43.724-07:00Ohhh I hear you, your reno sounds SO stressful, to...Ohhh I hear you, your reno sounds SO stressful, to have the house turned upside down.
