Know the feeling - if there was any sign of light at the end of the tunnel
it would improve matters slightly. Up until recently our old bathroom was
in our kitchen - now our old kitchen is in our living room and our new
kitchen is in the bedroom. Have to say, I could get used to having a fridge
next to the TV though... :-)
Sounds a bit like me. A few years ago, I did the kitchen and
bathroom. A small part of the old kitchen (a pair of cupboards
with worktop, the fridge/freezer, and the disconnected cooker) got
moved into the dining room, and the new kitchen was piled up in the
living room. Meanwhile, kitchen and bathroom were gutted, new
floor, rewired, replacement windows, replastered, etc. Bathroom
suite stood outside in the back garden during the day, and was moved
back in and pipework coupled up each night so it could be used, for
a bath in particular. I think I could get the bath unplumbed and
out into the garden in about a minute with the practice, and
reinstalled in a couple of mintues;-) I ended up being much busier
at work than I had thought, and it was like this for some months,
to varying degrees. However, it was eventually finished, and well
worth the effort.
The first part of such a task is rather dishartening. Just about
everything you do is destructive and seemingly moving the house
further from the condition you want it in, but eventually you tip
the see-saw, and are doing constructive work, and can see everything
coming together.
