We live in a standard 3 bed Victorian house in London and are remodelling/refurbishing the ground floor and extending out into the side return and into the garden for a bigger kitchen/living space. We also plan to make a downstairs loo and small utility area.
The project is expected to take 3 months. We can't afford to move during the process, so DH, DD(3ys) cat and I are living on site and week 2 into the build I'm already finding it stressful!
Shout out to anyone who has done this - what made your life easier and how did you cope with all the dust? Any practical tips highly appreciated as I'm not the most organised of people and feel like organisation is key to staying sane. Not having a washing machine and living out of (and amongst!) boxes has proven to be my tipping point lol!
Thanks in advance
