Yesterday I signed away our line of credit on a basement reno project. Hubby knows about it, and agreed, so we're at least on the up and up about it. Not like the shopping I did the other day, but I digress.
The impetus is environmental - we strongly suspect that various individuals in the house are suffering breathing problems, allergies, runny noses, etc, due to mould in the basement. There are elevated counts and the carpet is ancient. So the entire basement should be stripped back, cleaned, and rebuilt.
But hey - if we're going to strip it all back and clean and rebuild, why not remake it as well? So a wall is moving, a couple of other walls are going to be built, a shower will be installed - and all of this adds up to chaos and debt.
I'm very nervous... I think the 3 months of chaos is more nerve-wracking than the debt, to be honest. I can barely stand it when the dining room table doesn't get wiped down after dinner.
I'm doomed, aren't I?
