I'm home in my apartment, though it's a mess. On Friday, the walls between my apartment and my neighbor's apartment were 50% gone. As it was the lower half of the wall, that was an issue... My cat could get through without pause, their kids kept waving to me... The same day the repair crew fixed the neighbor's side, which at least took care of some of the problems.

All day yesterday (Saturday) they were here. The wall on my side is halfway done, and most of the ceiling is closed up now.

I have no kitchen floor (bare stone, dirty and rough).

I have no counters. No sink. No stove.

My fridge is in the living room/bedroom (I live in a studio apartment). I literally cannot walk from one side of my apartment to the other, everything's stacked up.

Plus side: I unearthed my microwave, so now, for the first time in two days, I can eat something besides snacks.

Tomorrow they'll be here the whole day again to finish the walls/ceiling. They can't replace the counter/sink/oven or move the fridge back into the kitchen until the floor is replaced. I don't know when that will be.

Thankfully I can work from home, since I can't leave my cat alone while all this is being done. Still, I'm stressed to hell and back (and yet, at least I'm home!).

That is just...that is ridiculous. They should have put you up a few more days. I'm glad your cat didn't do anything stupid, like find a crawlspace (that is what my moron did when we moved into the house, found a side of the outer wall of the downstairs bathroom that the previous owner didn't bother to seal and crawled inside for HOURS.

I'm guessing the kitchen floor will take at least two days but I hope the torture doesn't last too much longer :\

It's been quite the mess. They're putting the floors in today at least, after doing the counters yesterday when they told me they were not coming. I went to work... and the counters were outside, so they had to move them inside with my cat loose in the apartment. Ugh.

I'm so ready for this to be over and done with!
