[quote=Anonymous]If a handyman, etc. is there for a short project (one day or less) I let them use my bathroom. For longer remodels (i've only done 2, both took a few months), I do portajohns. I would only let them use my bathroom if there was one that I didn't need to access during the week for the entirety of the project; it's not realistic to expect them to keep it clean at a level I would find acceptable, and I would not want to clean up after people (just as I wouldn't want to clean up a public restroom). They may be offended but it is what it is. I don't understand the objection to music or even phone calls. Presumably the job itself is noisy and disruptive. I WFH frequently, but recognize that I may need to go to the library or my office during renovation projects, and/or wear headphones. [/quote]
