Ah - that's a shame - it gives you a bank of good vibes to take into the project, before you get worn down. If it's any consolation we can now look back and laugh about the low point of our work when we had three weeks of one bedroom and shower room for us and 3 teenagers and cooked on a camping stove. Good times.

I feel your pain. It sounds possible, but actually coping with this level of change is extremely hard.
We bought a fixer upper house. We are a childless couple with one small dog.
We stripped out the kitchen entirely, including all the plumbing. I had a temporary length of pipe to bring fresh water to the rest of the house. We cooked with a microwave and an egg steamer in the stripped and dirty dining room for a few weeks with all the downstairs stuff in piles in our unrenovated bedroom.
It was miserable.
erm we kind of missed this bit out, had 2 babies and went 'shit we need space'.
