The following
are a few suggestions for ways to minimize the
inconvenience of a major kitchen remodeling project:
- Cover
doorways into other rooms with plastic.
- Pack
everything that won't be needed into boxes. This will keep things
dust-free.
- Keep
essential items handy: basic food that can be microwaved, condiments,
cereal, microwave-safe
dishes and utensils, dishcloths, dishwasher soap, paper plates and
cups, coffee, coffee pot and
sugar/creamer, paper towels, napkins, and garbage bags.
- You
will be without water in the kitchen for a short time. Be prepared
to do dishes in another sink or
the bathtub for awhile.
- Many
contractors will wait until cabinets are completely built before tearing
out your current cabinets.
Be sure to clarify this point with your contractor.
- Set
up the microwave and refrigerator in another area, along with a table
for preparation.
- Stockpile
restaurant coupons for the nights when it will be more practical to
eat out.
- Relax
and rely on your kitchen designer. You will have a beautiful kitchen
to enjoy when all the dust
is gone!
