How to survive staying in a hotel while your home is being renovated
Nail down an actual start and end date from your contractor.
One of the most important ways to survive hotel living is to know when your family " togetherness " will end. Typically contractors may give you an end date, but will most likely be extended beyond that specific day.
Add at least one week onto the contractor's end date. For your mental health, if your contractor tells you the job will only last one week, get it into your mind that you will out of the house for two.
