Will be without a kitchen for over a month

Tweet

Our kitchen remodel is going to start this week. Tomorrow I think. The contractor will move the fridge into the living room, so hopefully we will still be able to use it. When he unhooks the stove from the gas that will be it. We won't have anything to cook on. We have a Breville oven where we can bake, toast, and reheat stuff but you can't boil stuff there or cook eggs either. We'll need to get a hot plate or whatever that's called that you plug into the wall and use to cook. Otherwise it is takeout only and doing that every day will really add up money-wise. We've picked out the cabinet color/design. And the layout has been finalized. Now we need to pick out the paint color for the walls, the kitchen tile, and cabinet countertop and backsplash. I'd prefer to use the countertop stone for the backsplash, but if we have to buy another piece for that we will have to resort to getting tile because stone is expensive. Need to make an appointment with the stone people. One place I contacted told me they can't come in to do measurements until September. That's not good for us as we want the kitchen done by end of August. That means they are out. Gotta call other places to see if they can do it when we need it. The appliances we've already bought, which cost us around $5600. And that was with the fourth of July sale. We need to notify the store two weeks before we need them so they can deliver everything then. Our contractor will install the appliances so we will save money that way. Not sure how much he will charge but it will surely be less than what the store wanted for it. Each appliance had its own installation charge. Being without a kitchen for over a month is not something that I am looking forward to but nothing I can do. The kitchen is from the 90s and so are the appliances. They need to be replaced.
