The family from whom we are renting our temporary abode may need to move into this house soon, requiring us to move into Bicknell way early. Like, next weekend! Moving was not on the radar, with insulation, walls and electricity still being installed, no plumbing (on hold since we tore out a bathroom), and no flooring on the main level yet... Flooring would be a pre-requisite, not to be laying it underneath furniture and daily life, and electricity and plumbing are pretty basic, aren't they? So - how are we going to do this?!
We had thought we'd negotiate a date that worked for both families when the notion of this rental came up. When we finished our reno and moved out, the owner's family would move in and do their reno at their own house. But, no date was set, and as reno's go, ours was on schedule but is behind now because of delays with the basement... No kitchen, no flooring, no plumbing or electrical, and a week to go?!?! I feel like that guy on HGTV doing an extreme reno and the family is due to come home before the kitchen is installed... How will we ever manage this?! We might not. Stay tuned.
And did I mention we're training a 5 month old puppy? I read someplace that there are three things NOT to do while writing a dissertation - don't renovate your home, don't get a puppy, and don't move unless you're evicted... so much for the dissertation progress!
