No worries on the wall of text. 6 months to a year is aggressive given the responsibilities on your plate. Serious power to you for working through it all. I’m watching my brother and sister-in-law ground down to the nubs over the past half year - the helpful, guiding home improvement professionals are a blessing along the way. Seriously impressed with the project of converting the closets into full bathrooms. It sounds as though this is the home you see yourself watching your kids grow older in, no doubt. Once it’s all finished, that’ll be a helluva day.
We spent so long working on the house that two of the three kids are adults now. The youngest is a junior in high school. I am hoping to finish everything before she graduates. We missed out on a lot with the kids because of the house. My recommendation is for people to get the 'remodel bug' out of the their system before having kids.
