My home I live in Lisbon in one a typical middle class flat.. My flat is 10 km far from the center of the city, because at that distance the prices are more affordable and still close enough to quickly reach any place in the town. The apartment has three bedrooms a living room, two bathrooms, a hall, a box room and of course a Kitchen. I am living there in the last 18 years, and in these year’s my wife convinced us to do reconstructions in all the rooms. The first time we did it, I happily agreed, but the problems, annoyances and unpleasures that the construction works bring inside a house when you still try to dwell there, made me try, without success, not to do it again. The first construction work that we did was in the living room, where we closed the balcony and made it an integrant part of the room, but for that we had to remove all the furniture, including the couches, the dining tables and the bookcase with the display cabinet just referring the biggest parts . After that and when the boys have grown it was time of his bedrooms including the floor the walls and new furniture's, beds, desks, bedside table, closet, according to their age and thinking in the future years. But the worst part is the kitchen. Full reconstruction of a kitchen is more troublesome and brings more confusion than doing it in the rest of the house. Before this experience I didn't have the idea that a kitchen probably has more power point that all the rest of the house. If this example is not enough, imagine that you have to change the sink place, and all the water and wastewater pipes, the place of the cooker, and thus the gas piping, a new laundry place with their washing machine and clothes dryers, and assembling new cupboards and works surfaces. And now my wife is talking about in sanding the wood floor of the sitting room ... Please help me !!
