I have been called this morning to let us know that our counter will come to be installed on next Wednesday the 18th! I do believe that it will be July before we get all the cupboards (they had to redo the mistakes which means a new set of doors) & the handles. I can see why people wait so long to have their kitchens redone. I don't think I could do this & wait this long if my kids were little & still living at home. I really don't know how other moms do this with kids? Hats off to you if you are one of them that has had to "live through this" I miss my sink lol.

...and this too shall pass! This is your June challenges and opportunities test. Sorry they still aren't done. Soon...?? :-}

thanks I will look at this as an opportunity to adjust again sigh...........I think I need a vacation lol

Your saga makes me realise how lucky we were when we had our kitchen done. We had a wall removed, 2 doorways moved, a funny shaped area turned into a walk in pantry, and all new fittings, appliances and floor covering in kitchen and hallway. Because of the structural changes the dining room and hallway also had to be painted. All done in 3 weeks, no hassles and we are lucky enough to have a granny flat with a tiny kitchen area to use while it went ahead. You will be very happy when it is complete and it is going to be beautiful! Hang in there, cheers, Bev

You continue to be ahead of me. I still need to call the counter guy. The counters are waiting. The sink and faucet are ready to go but we still haven't gotten out dishwasher delivered. I will wait patiently with you.

oh Karen it is a challenge for sure. We have the dishwasher but have been told the over the stove microwave is now on back order until the end of JULY! Best of luck to us both

Kitchens and bathrooms are the worst rooms to have to have turned upside down and inside out aren't they Loralye? We haven't had our kitchen done yet-my husband keeps telling me to decide what I would like-I don't have that many wants-other than having it all done TOMORROW!!! LOL. I would love a new kitchen and all new appliances-but the inconvenience is not something I look forward to. But hey lady-you are almost there!!! Just think how nice it will be when it's complete-brand new, fresh and clean and many family gatherings and holidays to be celebrated there. Hang in there sweetie-it'll all come together soon ~linda~

you will be in my prayers as I have you on my calender! ~hugs ***~

Oh dear, the kitchen is the heart of the house and you are right is even
more difficult to redo a kitchen with small kids. I wish you Good luck
and some patience.
One thing you are learning in this stage - remembering recipes which are simple and quick to do or go out for lunch/dinner every day.
Pls keep your sanity

lol thank you Maria. Now that we have a stove I can cook, never thought I would be happy to say that but I just started to do a little cooking before this reno so I am glad that I can do more now. ~hugs~

I'd miss my sink and a lot more - maybe, my sanity.
