Pros and cons of house remodeling and young children

Doing an aggressive fast-pace, DIY home remodeling project with 2 small children is crazy but surprisingly it does have its upsides. 
Pros:

• Brick mountain- . aka,  a giant pile of bricks that we tore off of the back of the house  that the boys love to played on a lot last summer!   
• rock mountain,aka. a giant pile of gravel in the backyard. Keith has set up pic boards all over it so they can climb and pretend they are walking on planks. 
• Plumbing part games (who knew): we make robot arms out of couplings ,  we stack and build with pipes, and  ice climb up the ravine with pvc pipe.  Good times.
• Hudson and eli had tiny-nail-head hammering accuracy by the age of two. 
• I have the uncanny ability to cope with sharpies all over my walls. 
• My kids think that we have a new house all the time...
• Boys know where the main stack is in the house and the names of many tools and construction terms.
• We have  a bobcat at our disposal  (Say "What?!?" I know. Cool.  Right?)
• New Plumbing, windows, electric, paint,  and walls in a 100 year old house.  Awesome!
•  People forgive your disorganization and in fact, give you props for handling it sooo well.  Hee hee...
