When I tell people I am remodeling my
kitchen there is always a question of how do you manage. Some make a face at how awful it sounds and one
person offered to make food for me.
I have gotten better with the slower cooker
but this is not the only method of cooking. I acquired a grill. And vegetables
can be cooked fairly efficiently in the microwave. In the 4 months of remodeling we have order
delivery only twice. We do like to go to Lulu’s every so often, but typically
for special occasions like putting the first coat of polyurethane down or a
Packers playoff game.
I have been washing dishes in the laundry room utility sink.
I bought a flexible bucket with handles to wash and transport dishes. Currently I have no running water on the first floor
so I fill a jug with water to keep in the kitchen.
Every small improvement makes life easier: getting a
real faucet that is easy to turn off and on in the laundry room. Before that, the cold water wouldn't even
turn on. Getting the sub floor installed
after having no floor and having to be really careful walking to the basement
(to do the dishes). Every outlet that Papa Robertson gets hooked up helps.
The day that I have a kitchen (with a dishwasher… and
a stove… and a working sink) seems pretty far off (not to mention all the bells
and whistles that are planned). I hope that once I have these things that I can
really appreciate how much time they save. And how much less cluttered my dining room will be....
