Kitchen Design Change

We moved into our house on November 24, 2006 and we have done a lot of upkeep, repairs and rehab. However, we took the plunge on Tuesday–demolition began on our kitchen. Our kitchen is as old as our house–40 years–so it was time to retire the kitchen cabinets and countertops. I have family and some others doing the job so I am very comfortable with the situation, but it will be difficult. Our house will be in a state of dissaray for a month or two because of this job in addition to adding about 150 square feet of hardwood at our front door entrance and we have to wait 5 weeks for the countertops for the kitchen and master bath. We currently consider our laundry our kitchen–not very convenient. They finished tearing off the cabinets and drywall on Day 1 and I was very impressed. Day 2 some electrical work was completed and we have a new light fixture in our upstairs hallway. It seems as though it might not take as long as I first thought, but there is still a lot of work ahead. Right now I wish I could go on a month vacation, but that is not reality.
