4 Tips to Keep your SANITY During a Remodel

Use sticky notes to help yourself and your contractor stay on the timeline. When you or your contractor finish a task, take the note off the wall. It's an easy way to keep your project on track, and seeing progress is rewarding. Remember to include the minor projects on your to-do list.

​Buying new fixtures like lights, faucets, and doorknobs can be overwhelming. Before you know it, you'll walk through the store, and everything looks the same. Group your purchases by room to help keep yourself sane. Buy these items early in case there are supply issues.

​Construction projects are messy if you're remodeling one room or a few. To keep the dust down, block off the room with plastic. The rest of the house will remain clean. If you're working on several rooms, take it one room at a time to avoid even more frustration.
