Happy, Happy, Happy...

I'm overwhelmed... with excitement.. anticipation.. and worries.
Just spoke with our contractor, Henry, a couple of days ago, and he confirmed that the renovation will only be completed by end of July.
We have to evacuate our current premise by the 15th of next month... so where are we going to stay for the remaining two weeks?
Henry's eyes bulged when we told him the news. He looked so shocked that it was almost funny, had the situation not been so dire. He gave us a timeframe of 2 months in the beginning, then it was cut down to 6 weeks or so... now he have less then 4 weeks to complete everything!?!?!?!
We worked out a solution in the end.. should the renovation could not be completed by the 15th.. he'll empty two rooms for us to move into first...
I cannot imagine moving in amidst the reno work going on... but Henry assured us there'll only be installation of the build in cabinets and stuff by then.
Well, we don't have much choice now...
Despite that, anticipation is building everyday... The renovation work is starting next week.. and we'll be getting a perspective drawing of the house from Henry in a couple of days. We're also choosing the tiles and laminate for our floors soon too.
Finally... our home is taking shape..
Just keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well from here.. no more little suprises and glitches..
