Priceless Advice
I wish this had been produced before we did a remodel in 2020. I spent so much of the 9 months (original estimate 3 months!) being furious about all the “screw-ups.” Though I felt like I was being proactive at the time, this podcast gave me so many great ideas of how I could have handled it better. Though my husband says “never again” regarding renovation, I’m still hopeful that if the need arises, I have a wonderful resource for surviving it better!! Thanks, Kricia and Stasia!!!
