Hmmm....guess we were lucky! We sold our house last year. I told all my families we were doing renos to get ready to sell (floors, paint, trims and 3 bathrooms). They all stayed until the bitter end...including 6 weeks of renovations where daycare was in my daughters bedroom! We had a sign on the lawn.

We moved too far so no one came with us. One mom kept sending me listings from her neighbourhood ha ha!

Best of luck with everything!
