Surviving a Kitchen Remodel
Life is busy at our Multi-Gen house with the kitchen remodel in full swing. Right now, it's chaos central. Naturally, the biggest headache is trying to cook and clean up. A Weber grill with a side burner is getting a lot of use and a utility sink in the garage works well for washing pots, pans, and dishes.
My sis and her husband, who live on another level of our home, offered to let us use their kitchen, but honestly, carrying things up and down the stairs would just add to the workload. Plus, it would be pretty crowded with all of us cooking different meals - especially at the same time.
Mom, who lives with us, is a good sport about the remodel and is getting used to the glamping aspect of the ordeal. Her morning oatmeal is made in the microwave and we try to keep her favorite foods around. It requires thought, prep, and planning. So far, so good.
What's up with the Blazers?
Plus, mom is a big Portland Trail Blazers fan and has been pretty distracted with her job as their number one cheerleader. She's even been wearing her team jersey to her Silver Sneakers classes - we're sorry they've lost the last 3 games, but we also respect and admire the Golden State Warriors. May the best team win.
Patience is a virtue.
Back to the kitchen. Hopefully in a few days, we'll be able to test out the new double ovens. However, installing the new gas stove, the farmhouse sink, and the dishwasher will have to wait until the counter tops are in place. Since the counter fabricators are booked until May 30th, it will be at least a month before we get our new quartz counters.
We've been warned, remodeling is an endeavor in patience. It certainly is, but we know the end result will be worth the hassles. Tonight, we're taking a break and having take-out. Woohoo! Happy Sunday.
