Love in the time of Cholera

That's what Jai calls our current experience in our house. Neither of us has seen the movie or read the book so we have no idea what "Love in the time of Cholera" really is, but this feels like what we think it might be. There's a giant hole in our kitchen floor because of some ongoing water damage in the corner where the fridge was. The whole house is covered in dust from the wall texture guys. The side yard has tons of broken bricks and stones and shingles and cabinetry and doors. The family room floor is covered in a layer of popcorn ceiling plaster and also has a bunch of tools, cabinets, air duct grates and boxes of plaster. The garage is crammed with tools, our stuff, tiles, cabinets and our mini makeshift kitchen. The fridge is in the living room covered in a tarp and there's a half-cut tree in the backyard. :S
Yup, Love in the time of Cholera. :) But that shows that we're still in somewhat high spirits. We're still in love with the house and of course in love and happy with each other so we'll get through this crazy week. In the last two and a half weeks we've accomplished a lot already. We fumigated, took down two antennas, cleared more than half the growth in the backyard, planted flowers in the front, mowed the front lawn three times, scraped the popcorn ceiling from the family room, had the bookshelves and bar removed from the family room, tore down a fireplace and walled over it, plastered the whole house, textured half the house, fully painted one room, pulled the carpet out from that room and removed all the nails and staples, put in a skylight, tore out all the kitchen appliances and cabinets, made lots of meals without a kitchen and managed not to piss off our neighbours with all the traffic and noise.
