New Piggy Palace In The Making - I Won't Be Around For A Couple Of Days

Ah I can understand that, I used to get stressed when I was just decorating! It's not that I'm obsessive about cleanliness and tidiness [far from it] but I just get used to things being in a certain place and get really niggly if there are bags and boxes of stuff around!
It'll all be worth it in the end and we'll all be gazing enviously at your photos :)
Oooh CAKES :drool: mmmm maybe focus on making LOTS of cakes until the work is all finished?
Good luck at the fair and hope it all goes well x
 
Oh ((hugs)) I really understand how you feel. I had several days like that during this building project. Its all so overwhelming and hard to function in the house. I really envy those who can afford to move out into rented accomodation during building projects.
 
Yesterday evening, I was close to crying, as the living room walls were nowhere finished and it looked like bomb site with layers of sticky dust ALL over the house despite our care and me having to brace for a fourth day (instead of just two!) with the piggies in by now pretty smelly temporary accommodation in the kitchen.

Nevertheless, I managed to push the pens out of the way enough to start baking for the Rescue Christmas Fair in Kidsgrove/Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday (by sacrificing access to the toaster, microwave and freezer). And by 6pm tonight, the builders were finished with the last wall, so I could start spring cleaning the piggy room and moving the whole caboodle into the freshly made up pens, which I have just finished. There is still more dust to come, but it is going to be a lot less. Most will be hopfully caught by the plastic curtain (although there was plenty of yuck that got through it in the last week!).

Kitchen clean has to wait until tomorrow; I'm too tired...
 
It's been a couple of weeks of sheer nightmare for me with my OH ill for a week and one of my piggies dying, not helped by having the builders in the house all day (including Saturdays to catch up on lost time). And me and the piggies only separated by a plastic curtain with a slit in it... But by yesterday evening the building part has finally finished - nearly 3 weeks late!

Now we have to scramble to get it decorated and done up before Christmas, not to mention that the whole house is covered in dust and dirt!

My work station and the piggies were just behind the curtain... which is the reason why he had to move out into the klitchen during the worst bit.

I can't wait until it is all over!
