We’ve discussed living through a large-scale renovation several times here at C&H. Whether you relocate to a short-term rental or carve out temporary rooms in your home, remodeling inevitably disrupts daily life during the project. The final result, though, is often well worth the inconvenience.
We recently found a thoughtful post on Tell’er All About It that shares a first-hand perspective on cleaning during renovations. At first glance, regular cleaning might seem pointless given the constant dust and debris generated by construction. Yet letting the mess spiral out of control can slow progress, create unsafe or unhealthy conditions, and make daily life much harder.
The Tell’er All About It approach is practical and manageable. Every night the homeowners work through a short checklist that includes daily vacuuming—yes, every day—to keep dust from building up. They also keep tools and other project materials out of the bedroom, preserving a calm, tool-free sanctuary where they can rest after a long day on the job.
