We debated a remodel or a move and decided on a move for a few reasons but one was we didn't want to live in construction with three kids (our house is close quarters) and I cannot make a decision to save my life!

I vividly remember being woken up to the sound of a gun that shot 20 g powered nails into the floor while they were laying the hardwood. <br /><br />Good for you for staying positive throughout the process!
