Construction

Renovations are hard!

Yes that is how I have decided to start this blog and I will say it again Renovations are hard.  It s not that I am doing the renovations but I am doing the organizing and if you ask me the organization part is the more difficult part.

The first difficulty was finding someone to do this job.  It seemed that a few years ago everyone had a contractor that they would suggest however that does not seem to be the case today.  After a swing and a miss with a contractor that grandma had suggested I ended up choosing someone from the Christian Catalog (hahaha not a catalog for christians but rather a directory of christian repair people) to do the job.

The second difficulty was after having the contractor come and see the sink it was suggested that we not only replace the taps but the sink as well as there was rust and this would lead to future problems.  Following this news this meant that I now had to figure out where and what to buy for a counter.  This was surprisingly difficult as I thought that it would be a simple task of simply looking at Home Hardware or Home Depot websites and finding what they have for counter tops.  What I found is that it is difficult to find a simply laminate countertop and rather there are lots of stone countertops.

The last difficulty is making sure that what I am finding is what dad is good with.

Oh the joys of a holiday back in Winnipeg.
