(2,649 posts)Just after the leak, there were a lot of people I don't know traipsing through my house for 3 days. That did force me to get rid of a lot of stuff that I was just holding onto for no reason. I've cleaned out all the closets, culling my wardrobe down to the stuff I actually wear, and sending the rest to charity. Same with other stuff. The place has a much cleaner feel to it.
Next week the contractors will be here patching holes and painting walls, and the flooring folks will be here after that. I've chosen a new color for the walls that is much lighter and calmer than the present color, and I picked out the flooring I like (as opposed to the stuff that was already on the floors when I bought the place). And, I'm making new draperies that will brighten up the windows considerably.
So, all in all, regardless of the mess and the racket and the stress on the cats, it's turning into a pretty positive thing. Would I choose to have another flood in order to get this work done? Not likely, but if we're talking silver linings, this is mine.
