You’ve finally decided to remodel that 1970s kitchen. Out with the Avocado Green; out with the Harvest Gold tile. Wait! Those colors are back.
Presuming you have a design, licensed contractor and building permits; there are some things to consider before bringing in the wrecking crew.
- Temporary Kitchen. Patios are ideal. Water and drain lines in exterior walls, can occasionally be temporally routed to a utility sink. It beats washing dishes in the bathtub.
- Construction Zone. Stay out of the way. It’s for your safety.
- Be flexible! Unexpected situations will occur.
- Contractor’s Aid. Designate a bathroom; keep snacks and nonalcoholic drinks coming.
Keep your sense of humor! You’ll soon have the home you desired.
