Pack everything that won't be
needed into boxes. This will keep things dust-free.
Keep essential items handy: basic
food that can be microwaved, condiments, cereal, microwave-safe dishes and utensils,
dishcloths, dishwasher soap, paper plates and cups, coffee, coffee pot and sugar/creamer,
paper towels, napkins, and garbage bags.
You will be without water in the
kitchen for a short time. You may need to do dishes in another sink or the bathtub for
awhile.
Many contractors will wait until
cabinets have arrived before tearing out your current cabinets. Be sure to clarify this
point with your contractor.
Set up the microwave and
refrigerator in another area, along with a table for preparation.
Stockpile restaurant coupons for
the nights when you really want to eat out.
Relax and rely on your kitchen
designer. There will be a beautiful kitchen when all the dust is gone!!
