Kitchen Update #3: Temporary kitchen and dining area


Ed and I spent about 8 hours each this past weekend preparing for the upcoming kitchen demo. Even though we've been working on demo for about 2 months now, this upcoming weekend is the biggest and (hopefully!) final part. The dumpster arrives on Wednesday. 

At this point, the butler's pantry and central hallway closet/pantry have been demolished (i.e. down to the studs). Upcoming is the kitchen, including all cabinetry. We will be without water, stove, and storage so we've been preparing our side-porch to be the "cooking" kitchen and the patio to be our "cleaning" kitchen. Ed set up a temporary sink out there for washing dishes. We plan to use an electric tea kettle to warm water for washing. 

Here are a few photos of the "new" spaces. 


The "game table" has been moved into the living room, and can seat 4.
Note the Zima on the table, a surprise that Ed brought home from the grocery. They are surprisingly good!

Pantry, stove, electric griddle, microwave have all been moved to the side-porch (former toy room).
Note the makings of father's day nachos, per Ed's request.
