Renovating with children at home can be stressful. Dust, noise and tools everywhere make it tough. But with some planning it is possible.
The first step is setting boundaries. Close off the work area with plastic sheets or temporary walls. Keep tools stored safely away. Try to schedule loud tasks during school hours or nap times.
If possible do one room at a time so the rest of the house stays livable. Create a small play corner in a safe area so kids have a distraction while you work.
Get them involved in small ways like helping pick paint colors or handing you safe tools. It makes the process fun instead of stressful.
Final thought: Renovation and family life can mix if you plan carefully. What tips would you share for renovating with kids around?
