When one doesn't do home remodeling very often, like twice in 20+ years, one forgets. The first project was to add a four-season porch off the living room. This time, we're moving the door to the first floor powder room. Moving the door requires moving everything else in that bathroom.
One forgets the delays. The contractors have other projects to move along. I know, I know. But today we sit with no one working on the project until late this afternoon. During the porch addition, we would sit for a week with no one on the project.
One forgets the mess. Construction dust everywhere. Tools and parts and bits and pieces everywhere. A blue tarp over a heap of I don't know what in the front yard for a week.
I know this project will turn out well and I've thought about moving that door for over two decades--who wants a bathroom door opening to the living room? And I'm glad I'm not a contractor, especially a small independent one with a million details to coordinate who is also a construction worker.
Soon.

note to self; avoid construction projects ;). Though we've got one going.
I missed your project when we were over there--didn't see any construction dust or loose tools.
