Summary

We are *hopefully* coming to the finish line of our home renovation … and that is largely to due the fact that we are less than 3 months from having baby #4. So we realllyyyy would like to have the home + baby finish line aligned.

So this episode is a raw + vulnerable BTS look at our home renovation. We don’t ever want to shield the reality of our life and the challenges we face, especially if we think it could help others walking through the same or similar things. So we are inviting you into this conversation about our home renovation; we’re peeling back the curtain and sharing the reality.

If you are thinking about doing a renovation or curious about how the renovation process works, we hope this episode is helpful. ♥️

In this episode we talk about:

☀️ The reality of our day-to-day lives during this renovation

🌟 Why Jeremy has taken on the role of General Contractor (and why we didn’t hire someone else for that)

\U0001fae0 Things we wish we would have done or decided months before the actual renovation

💛 The tension of not regretting the renovation even if things could have been done differently

0:21.8	it's just been a very crazy season of life and today on the
0:27.1	podcast we thought it'd be fitting to just kind of get real about that what's
0:30.1	been happening in our life over the past seven months, specifically just how it's gotten
0:36.3	really hard for us the past month.
0:39.5	Kind of like with a lot of things when you get really close to the finish line, it gets
0:42.4	harder before you're
0:43.2	done. So I feel like we're hopefully there. We hope that we're close to being done. We think we're close to being done, but yeah, it's been,
0:55.0	has it been easy?
0:56.0	Has it been our butterflies and roses?
0:58.0	I feel like maybe two weeks ago, three weeks ago,

1:08.8	we're two and a half, we're three months away from baby and we still have X YZ, X, Y, Z, A, B, C to do. And that's when I think it really got kind of real. And then also just the overwhelm of a few things not going right and a lot of things

1:39.5	Which again, you just expected, you know, it's like we signed herself up for this, right? We sent herself up for a remodel. We knew that things would go wrong. We bought an old home that had a lot of problems,
1:43.4	so we didn't go into it thinking it was gonna be all peachy keen.
1:46.4	Yeah, but it has just been every problem.
1:48.8	Yeah, when reality hits and you've already like caved
1:51.9	and given in on so many different things you know
