. . . I have heard that one of the most stressful times in a relationship can be during renovating. Well, Mike and I are renavating the house right now - together!We are gutting the kitchen (we have hired out for the major kitchen part), putting in new cupboards, countertops, fixtures, fawcetts. We are putting laminate throughout the upperlevel, new flooring in the bathroom and laundry room. New vanity, fixures, fawcetts in the bathroom. We are painting the kitchen, dining area, master bedroom and bathroom. We are also purging our 2 homes in preparation for a garage sale in 2 weeks - I cant believe how much s*** we have (pardon me but that's exactly what it is). Today we did alot of painting and cleaned out Mike's shed (o h m y l a n d s - what a nightmare!). But it looks FABULOUS now!
Mike starts coaching soccer here right away (Madi and Sydney's team again), I am having my first surgery in 2 weeks, I am still trying to plan some kind of a wedding celebration, football starts soon, colton is in badminton for a month or so longer, and I am going to have FIVE children soon!!!!!! We are very busy but surprisingly sane.
In regards to the most stressful times comment at the beginning . . . yes, it has been stressful, but overall, we have done really well. Mike and I work very well together and the kids have been great! We are looking forward to making the house "our place"or as I would like to say "vanessa-ize" it a bit, it has desperately needed a womans touch.
So . . . we have ALOT to accomplish in a very short time but we get to do it with together, TWO is totally better than ONE!

Sounds like you both are already working on this "Helpmate" thing, Great!
Trevor and I are building a deck which has been growing and growing and....you get the picture. Is it still togetherness when he and his helpers are in the garden and my only support is to provide tea (we are after all in the UK) and offer advice on where things should go??
