Reality Show Lie #7: You Don’t Need to Go on Vacation While Your Home is Transformed
Some home renovation reality shows prefer to keep the home renovation a surprise for participants. A couple or family may go off on a relaxing vacation for a week and return to a new, barely recognizable space.
The big lie? That a home renovation doesn’t have to disrupt your life at all.
A proper renovation should be carefully orchestrated to minimize disruption and keep your day-to-day schedule as normal as possible. Still, you may need to live for weeks without a functioning kitchen or bathroom, and share your space with workers, tools, and materials.
Even if you can afford to vacation for weeks, it’s best to stay close enough to keep an eye on the project and communicate with contractors.
