Bad idea?

RedZeeRedZee member
in October 2013 Moms
As I've posted, we have just finished redoing our kitchen. We couldn't live at home for 6 weeks and it was a total mess and we've only gotten things cleaned up this week. (There are a few odds and ends to finish, but nothing major.)

We had planned to repaint the living room during this renovation since we had to move some things out of there anyway. We've moved much of it back (the stuff that was in the kids' room) but still not everything.

We just found out that we can have the living room painted this week or next week for a really good price. It would take 2 days. It would mean that all the work we wanted to do in the near future would be done. Otherwise, we have to figure out a time to paint.

I'm due next week and have been having contractions that are not doing a ton for the past couple of weeks. Is it a really bad idea to just go ahead with the painting and hope that it really takes 2 days and won't create a ton of chaos?

The pros would be that we don't have to think about it anymore and the place will look really nice. The cons are that things won't be 100% settled for a little longer and that money will be a bit tight for a couple of weeks.

    I would go ahead with it. I feel like there will always be a reason not to do it. Just get it done.

    I'd say do it. Then you won't have to worry about it at all

    Do it!  If you do go into labor hopefully someone in your family/friends can check in and then put the room back together before you get home.

    I woudl just do it too. but this is coming from the woman who had contractors redoing her house for the past 6 weeks and is just moving in on Saturday, so I might not be normal. :-)

    but even if you went into labor the minute they started painting, they'd be done by the time you got home from the hospital!

    Thanks everyone! I also just want to get it over with. I was talking to my friend about it who was acting like it was the most insane thing ever. He was freaking out about the fumes (we'll get zero VOC paint). The guys are supposed to move everything and put it all back anyway. In the worst case I'll be home with baby for 1 day while they're painting. I guess the main thing is to find out when they can start.
