We are currently under construction

We started our reno's Monday and in just 3 full days we have (or rather the builder and plumber has) knocked out 2 walls, removed the bathroom entirely including wall tiles and floor tiles, dug a trench in the floor, put up 2 new walls, and managed to create a mountain of debris reminiscent of war torn countries right in front of our house. On the front porch to be exact. Which makes living here quite uninhabitable at the moment. So in the meantime, we are spending our days in Cattolica at the nonnis, eating there, playing there etc. When we come home to our dust bowl in the evening, I have to sweep up all the dust so that I don't inhale it all in my sleep and even try to wash the floor, and clean off the table so that we can have a clean and fast breakfast in the morning. There are some pictures taken, but at the moment I can't be bothered to go down 2 flights to get the camera to then bring it all the way back again. It looks like we will be under this construction until the end of next week (but still don't know if the bathroom would be able to be tiled in that time..)which means that our next few weeks bringing us near our departure date will be filled with dust, dirt and not spending time at home. Everything I didn't want to happen, but now that we are here we are stuck with it.
And we have a surprise visitor this weekend.
Let's hope she likes to help clean.
Pictures to follow.
