Though I felt comfortable doing most of the projects during the kitchen remodel while I was pregnant, there were a few that I definitely passed on to my husband. Sanding drywall compound on the new sheetrock was one of those things. I believe it even says on the bucket that pregnant women should not breathe the dust from the compound. The same goes for if you are ripping out plaster or anything that may have lead paint on it. Also, if you are using a very strong primer or paint I would pass on that. We did this during the summer so I painted most of the cabinets outside which cut down on any fumes. Anything involving a ladder was a no-no for me too as I got bigger. I think just use your judgement as to what you feel comfortable doing (and do your homework on the products you are using such as paint, drywall mud, etc.) Happy pregnancy (and home remodel!)!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901910637531435558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951586580746370468.post-34188476881681257852013-08-18T08:52:54.507-06:002013-08-18T08:52:54.507-06:00Good job on all the work you and your family have ...Good job on all the work you and your family have done. My family and I are about to be doing the same. You had mentioned you were expecting your youngest while doing this renovation, were there any projects you didn't tackle yourself because of this? We are also expecting and it has been hard finding out a sure list of not to-do's. Thank you for sharing remodel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307054555198487686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951586580746370468.post-17894850615727041582013-05-08T11:08:20.797-06:002013-05-08T11:08:20.797-06:00Wow, I just saw your renovation and came here to s...Wow, I just saw your renovation and came here to see what you started with. AMAZING!!!!<br />Shows what you can get if you're willing to sweat for it. I was so shocked when I saw that you had started with this, I was ready to swear those were brand new cabinets with the lovely white paint and new hardware.<br />Fantastic job, you deserve every inch of your lovely kitchen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197143708781652726noreply@blogger.com
