God’s timing never fails to amaze me The article about getting buck naked was inspiring. God has really been speaking to me about living my life with purpose which requires getting naked emotionally.
Clear communication is key to remodeling with your spouse! We’ve always done the work ourselves so I haven’t had to deal with strangers for days or weeks on end in our house. At times we’ve worked really well together and at other times it gets a little tense
Communicate about all the little details and each others plans /desires for the project. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses of working together as a team and use that to build your relationship stronger instead of tearing you apart!

As always Tim, thanks for your humor and great posts!

We are in the midst of trying to design a master suite in our attic

I told her I was kidding because I felt so uncomfortable.

I am very careful to be mindful that our house needs to reflect our family, not just me. But they are so uninterested. (I’m the only girl in the house.) That said, I still am conscious about limiting the florals.

You are right on when you say to have a discussion about the contractors hours. We had a little work done for 4 days and it really was disruptive to our family. My husband was testy the whole time.
