1. Cover doorways into other rooms with
plastic. 2. Pack everything that won't be needed into
boxes.This will keep things dust-free. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Many contractors will wait until cabinets have
arrived before tearing out your current cabinets. Be sure to
clarify this point with your contractor. 6. Set up the microwave and refrigerator in another
area, along with a table for preparation. 7. Stockpile restaurant coupons for the nights when
you really want to eat out. 8. Relax and rely on your kitchen designer. There
will be a beautiful kitchen when all the dust is gone!!
