    Mine was a long job, although my house, and therefore my kitchen, is very small. There was no kitchen when I bought the house, so for two months before the work began, I was living out of a microwave and my college dorm fridge from 1985. No, it did not work very well, and yes I got sick twice because of it. Buy a new dorm fridge--don't use your old one!

    I got a panini maker, a blender, and a crock pot, with which I was able to make just about everything.

    The work took a long time (removing walls, etc) but the result really is wonderful and I love being in my kitchen. It's open to the rest of the house, so it's not like I'm ever stuck "in" a kitchen.

    The saga is on TE somewhere; I'm sure you can find it if you really want to.

    I have some black candles to light and a goat here to sacrifice on behalf of your kitchen remodel. Good luck!

    Abandon all hope! Run away! Run away! We remodeled the kitchen about 15 years ago....I'm still traumatized.

    Honestly, I wish you luck, and truly hope it is completed quickly.

    I made the mistake of watching "Holmes on Homes" the night before they gutted my kitchen. I'm pretty sure that jinxed me...

    I had to go outside and through my basement level garage so I could climb a ladder from the basement to my wall-mounted microwave on the first floor for 2 months until we finally had a floor.
