Someday I'm going to look back and laugh at what we did to survive the kitchen remodel . . but that day isn't today. However, I want to be reminded of a few of the ways we lived. We prepared most of our meals in the garage on a folding table. I used a Target microwave, instant pot, toaster oven, and griddle to make most meals, but we quickly discovered the garage voltage could only support ONE mini appliance at a time. So some nights we brought the instant pot into the laundry room.
We rotated beach towels on the dining room table so that it would withstand heavy usage. I have to say Savannah taking CPCC chemistry online and trying to dig out so many kitchen utensils and ingredients for labs was not easy either, but we made it work . . somehow.
On one of the last days of the remodel the water main in front of our house broke and water gushed for over 12 hours before the city finally came to repair it. They had to dig a hole over 6' deep on the front lawn to get to the pipe to repair. So we had no water. Somehow, some way we all survived the remodel and will hopefully soon move these inconveniences to the back of our minds to enjoy our amazing new kitchen!
Once we had the plastic down it was time to put up "mom's tree" downstairs. Preston thought he was being funny but I didn't find it humorous. SO so thankful this is all behind us now!
