Renovation Day 13

It's day 13 already and today we are doing another side of the false ceiling in the Living room.

Every evening I question myself why did I do that? I could have gone without one. 😖🙈

It is a real battle of wits to get all this done by staying in the same house. You see how work is done and you can see how much workers are slacking and it affects you emotionally as well.

When you are not there and not seeing things, going about your day normally then you are in a good emotional state to let go of things.

On top of that, if you have parents with you and they also question how things are going on, the whole thing gets on your nerves and makes you pull out your already falling hair.



This is the house I am living in nowadays.😩😵

Home Renovation Project during Pandemic!

My Apartment was a complete mess. We neither could store our stuff properly nor live comfortably. We were having frequent arguments. We started exploring our options, either to buy a new apartment or rent a big place. However, after seeing a few options we disregarded both the options and decided to renovate the existing place.

After reaching this decision, the quest started on how to do it? We started talking to our friends and neighbors for references. Within our society, few people were also renovating their homes, so we checked with them.

When we took this decision we didn't know much. We just had the desire that someone fix our place nicely within our budget. Fixing the place means that this place meets our functional requirements and looks good too. This could become a place where we enjoy our day and can do our work comfortably respecting each other's personal boundaries. 

This whole exercise made me realise how many things we accumulate over a period of time. Are they really necessary? Most of our arguments were around the stuff organization. Unknowingly we accumulate so much over the period of time that house seems for things not for people. Lockdown is the reason that we stayed together in a house for so long. I'll keep posting my journey through this project. This whole ordeal making me realized lots of things about myself and the way we have been living our life. Stay Tuned!

My top 15 K-dramas list

It has been more than a year since I got hooked on Korean dramas. I like the happy ending (mostly) and stories are finished in 16-20 episode...
