Miscellaneous Articles and Thoughts - Preparing for a Kitchen Remodel

Remodeling your kitchen can be extremely disruptive on a family's lifestyle; but with a little foresight and planning, you can function quite well for the length of the project.

Before the project starts:

• Pack all your kitchen goods. This is essential. Ask your contractor how much of the room needs to be packed in order to start the project.
• Label each of the boxes with their exact contents. This will prevent a frantic search for any item needed during the job.
• Put aside essential items, such as:

  coffee, coffee maker and filters can opener cutting board and knife microwave with microwave cookbook salt, pepper and assorted spices utensils paper plates

   

• Remember to maintain access to some refrigeration. This may require you to move your refrigerator to another room in the home or into the garage.
• Designate a sink for meal preparation and clean-up. A large laundry sink works well for this use.
