No storing of boxes, no random power tools - nothing. Just my little spot where I could escape. The dust still managed to find its way in there though....<BR><BR>I'll echo the sentiments of everyone else - hang in there!Andreahttp://bleulune.typepad.com/my_weblog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-51171045241392560572007-01-30T18:53:00.000-06:002007-01-30T18:53:00.000-06:00That "HELP" picture is the best!

And with the increase in the amount of food being eaten (and spilled) in the living room, I think our carpet is probably ruined (but pulling that up is probably going to be our next project--AT LEAST SIX MONTHS FROM NOW).<BR><BR>I am so behind on regular housekeeping and I blame it all on the kitchen. A major remodel like that always throws everything off, doesn't it?<BR><BR>So, yeah, I can relate.Pippajohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07651166001450622296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707732077149679290.post-50717392348143890162007-01-31T07:24:00.000-06:002007-01-31T07:24:00.000-06:00It will get better, I promise.
