***TIPS FROM THE PRO'S***

- Preferably, don’t live in the space during the remodel. I know this could be difficult to achieve and there may not be another option. But it would be great if you could start your remodel maybe while you’re on vacation out of town, or you could live with family. Living at the jobsite, could make it more difficult for the individual trades to work very efficient and solely focus on their work.

- Give yourself enough time to empty out your kitchen before the project starts. Do not wait for the day before. I highly recommend you start at least one week prior with emptying out cupboards and sections of your kitchen that you do not use on a daily basis. Invest in moving boxes and make sure to label everything correctly. If you do end up living in the house, this will make it a lot easier down the road if you are looking for an item.
- Plan ahead and set up your temporary kitchen
o You will need to think about where to set up the temporary kitchen so preferably it can be close to a water source. F.E. in a laundry room with a sink, or next to a hall bath. If you don’t have another water source in a convenient location, you do have the option to rent a sink from Home Depot (fairly inexpensive and could make your life a lot easier.) Believe me, the sink will be the biggest part you will miss about your kitchen.
o You will either need a large folding table or keep one or two of your old cabinets as a worktable for your temporary kitchen.
o Appliances you should have on hand: Microwave, optional toaster oven could come in really handy, definitely a hot plate – and if you invest into an induction hot plate even better so you don’t have to wait forever for it to heat up. Small refrigerator.
o Other appliances you may need: toaster, blender, hot water heater
o Items you should have on hand for your temporary kitchens: lots of napkins, toss able silverware and dishes, preferably environmentally friendly.
o If you are not reusing an old cabinet with drawers, I suggest in investing into a plastic drawer tote to keep your most used spices, and pantry items, cereal etc. so it’s easy accessible and somewhat still organized.

Overall, don’t rush the project. I never recommend you to remodel 4 weeks before a major holiday if you are planning on inviting your entire family over.
In a perfect world, your major kitchen remodel can be fully installed in 4 weeks, but in reality with construction and retro fitting an existing home, something always comes up to push the project completion date out. This can be anything from unexpected electrical issues to damaged parts having to get replaced and now they are on backorder for example. Just keep this in mind for when setting up the perfect timing for your remodel.

Ok, I hope these tips and tricks will help you all keep your sanity throughout your kitchen remodel and of course help you to set up a functional temporary kitchen while remodeling.
