I have come to the conclusion that remodeling a house is like being pregnant... What???? That doesn't make any sense you say.... Well, just think about it... At first you are so excited at the idea of being pregnant. You live thru the morning sickness... then you start the exciting part of planning names, buying all types of books on what to name your baby... what to expect while you are pregnant, during delivery, and so forth. Then after you have your bundle of joy, you get to experience the first poop... you know what I mean...

Rewind to 7 months ago... when we decided to have a little "bundle of joy".... we had great expectations of a total house remodel going quickly and smoothly,, you know, like they do on the diy network..?.. How wrong we were.
