[quote=Anonymous]We were in the same boat as OP when we did our reno and addition. We lived at home when the groundworks were being done for the addition, but moved out (for 6 months) when they were ready to "break through" and start the reno in the existing house. We didn't have a choice as it was a down to the studs renovation with many interior walls moving, all new electrical/plumbing, etc. It was effectively a part time job keeping an eye on things, but totally worth it and good to have a larger family home when the kids are actually living here - we moved back in when they were 4 & 2. If you're house is older, any serious renovation is going to disturb lead paint. I wouldn't want my kids around the site until it was cleaned up and repainted.[/quote]
