We have delayed necessary renovations to our house for a while now and, as these things always happen, are now in a situation where we may be able to start major renovation work to our house around the same time as number 4 arrives. We are not keen to further delay work in case we can't then get started. In my experience there is never a good time for these things! We would move the three kids into one large room to share and put the baby in with us when it arrives. The builders have said they can build a makeshift kitchen complete with appliances, sink and stove top in the rear reception room.
I have renovated before - the last time was when DC2 arrived a week after we moved in and we then lived with 9 builders for several more weeks - so know what to expect in terms of noise and dust etc. But it was a few years ago and I am wondering if I am overlooking anything that suggests we ought to really wait a bit...
Any thoughts much appreciated!
